Appellate Court of Illinois, First District, Third Division.

July 26, 2000.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Clausen Miller P.C., Johnson & Bell, Ltd., Chicago (James T. Ferrini and Edward M. Kay, of counsel), for Defendant-Appellant.

Robert A. Clifford and Timothy S. Tomasik, Clifford Law Offices, Chicago (David A. Novoselsky and Leslie J. Rosen, David A. Novoselsky Associates, of counsel), for Plaintiff-Appellee.
