View this case - free  

Overview: Dismissal of State's amended 725 Ill. Comp. Stat. Ann. 150/9 forfeiture complaint was error; allegations, inter alia, that claimant carpenter purchased one-way ticket to Seattle with cash within 24 hours of departure and that he provided differing accounts of travel plans, were sufficient to show nexus between $280,020 and illegal drug activity.

Because the measurement was less than 100 feet, issuance of a license would violate 235 Ill. Comp. Stat. 5/6-11(a).

Overview: Where a bank negotiated numerous checks over a five-year period, the pattern, course, and accumulation of its acts were not relevant as a continuing violation for an association's conversion action. Thus, each discrete act provided a basis for a cause of action with three year limitations period under 810 Ill. Comp. Stat. 5/3-420(a) and 5/3-118(g).
