The state’s highest court on Thursday ruled New York City does not have the right to ban large sugary drinks.
The Court of Appeals ruling upheld a lower court decision from 2012 that overturned now former mayor Michael Bloomberg’s effort to ban sugary drinks over 16 ounces.
That ban will not be reinstated.
Bloomberg had touted the ban as a way to fight obesity and other health conditions.
Restaurant and theater owners, along with beverage companies sued, arguing the city did not have the right to impose a ban.
