2023They argued that plaintiff previously litigated his direct negligence claim against the School and that the additional counts plaintiff sought to add were untimely. ¶ 33 Plaintiff replied on November 19, 2022, arguing that the additional counts were not time barred and that he should be permitted to revive his direct negligence claim against the school because he previously withdrew the claim on his own accord and it was not “previously litigated,” as defendants had argued. ¶ 34 The circuit court entered an order on December 20, 2022, denying plaintiff’s motion for leave to file a third amende
