Winston Attorneys Featured in Food Safety News
December 3, 2020
Winston Attorneys Abbe David Lowell, Christopher Man, and Lisa Chan were featured in a recent Food Safety News article. The article discusses the legal debate about whether the statute of limitations was “tolled” during the COVID-19 pandemic in relation to the United States v. Paul Kruse case.
Citing an article written by Abbe, Christopher, and Lisa published in Law360, Food Safety News notes, “Federal courts may toll criminal statutes of limitations under only very limited circumstances. They do not appear to have the authority to issue blanket tolling of all criminal statutes of limitations. Federal courts also may equitably toll some civil statutes of limitations in individual cases, but just as in criminal actions, they seemingly lack the authority to issue orders for the blanket tolling of all civil statutes of limitations.”
