DAIBER v. MONTGOMERY CO. MUT. FIRE INS.

No. 5-87-0805.

191 Ill. App.3d 566 (1989)

548 N.E.2d 17

JERRY DAIBER et al., Plaintiffs-Appellees, v. MONTGOMERY COUNTY MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY et al., Defendants (Terry Duncan, Defendant-Appellant).

Appellate Court of Illinois — Fifth District.

Opinion filed November 17, 1989.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William J. Knapp, of Burroughs, Simpson, Hepler & Broom, of Edwardsville, for appellant.

Charles R. Douglas, of Granite City, for appellees.

Judgment affirmed.

JUSTICE HOWERTON delivered the opinion of the court:

Lawyers claim that the venue act is dead, killed by forum non conveniens.

We do not believe it.

No matter how limply venue may languish on the cross of forum non conveniens, it lives still. At least we think so and we believe that rumors amongst lawyers of its death have been greatly exaggerated. See Ill. Rev. Stat. 1987, ch. 110, par. 2-101 et seq.
