September 19, 2024: Defendants' Brief in Opposition and Assignment of Cross-Error
Defendants opposed Plaintiffs’ Petition for Review arguing that the Court of Appeals correctly ruled that sovereign immunity bars Plaintiffs’ jus publicum claims and that Plaintiffs’ lack standing. Defendants also raised a cross-error requesting that if the Virginia Supreme Court accepts Plaintiffs’ Petition, it should also reverse the Court of Appeals ruling that Plaintiffs’ due process claims are not barred by sovereign immunity.
