BISCAN v. VILLAGE OF MELROSE PARK BD. OF FIRE & POLICE

No. 1-94-1687.

661 N.E.2d 424 (1996)

277 Ill. App.3d 844

214 Ill.Dec. 570

Thomas BISCAN, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. VILLAGE OF MELROSE PARK BOARD OF FIRE & POLICE COMMISSIONERS, Defendant-Appellant (Anthony Maggio, Defendant-Appellee).

Appellate Court of Illinois, First District, First Division.

January 29, 1996.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Kenneth C. Shepro, Spec. Counsel of Chicago; Nicholas M. Spina, Village Attorney of Melrose Park; Altheimer & Gray, of counsel, Chicago, for appellant.

Richard J. Reimer, Sklodowski, Franklin, Puchalski & Reimer, Chicago, for plaintiff-appellee.

Justice WOLFSON delivered the opinion of the court:

The trial judge was obviously and justifiably annoyed by the failure of the Village's attorney to appear in court in this administrative review case. There are times, however, when patience can be a virtue. This is one of those times.

We reverse the trial judge's order refusing to vacate a default judgment entered against the Village Board of Fire & Police Commissioners.
