Overview: Under definitions in insurance policy, passenger was "occupying" a car rather than "using" it as "use" required some measure of control over the car; thus, trial court erred in granting insurer summary judgment in declaratory action based on finding that passenger was "using" the car without permission and therefore could not recover UM benefits.

Comp. Stat. Ann. 5/503(c) of $20,000 to wife as reimbursement of marital funds was vacated.

Overview: Appellate court affirmed a conviction for obstructing justice under 720 Ill. Comp. Stat.

View this case - free

Smith v. Louis Joliet Shoppingtown L.P. , No. 1-06-2988, APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS, FIRST DISTRICT, SECOND DIVISION, October 30, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court's adjudication of lien to an amount less than that which workers' compensation insurer was entitled to under 820 Ill. Comp. Stat. Ann. 305/5(b) amounted to error, as insurer was not estopped from objecting to trial court's order and insurer's absence from settlement negotiations was not voluntary conduct precluding enforcement of lien.
