2016The rule is “founded on the premise that litigation should have an end and that no person should be unnecessarily harassed with a multiplicity of lawsuits.” Id. -5- No. 1-15-3388 ¶ 17 In Rein, our supreme court cautioned that a plaintiff’s statutory right, under sections 2- 1009 and 13-217 of the Code of Civil Procedure (735 ILCS 5/13-217 (West 2014)), to a voluntary dismissal within the limitations period did not “automatically immunize a plaintiff against the bar of res judicata or other legitimate defenses a defendant may assert in response to the refiling of voluntarily dismissed counts.”

Dubina v. Mesirow Realty Development, Inc. green
ill · 1997
2 sentences

2008As Rein pointed out, a plaintiff could not file a complaint with multiple counts, take a voluntary dismissal without prejudice of some of the counts, pursue the undismissed counts to final judgment, and then harass the defendant with successive suits simply because the dismissals of those counts were entered "without prejudice." Rein, 172 Ill.2d at 343 , 216 Ill.Dec. 642 , 665 N.E.2d 1199 . [3] If there was any doubt whether this court viewed the refiling of a voluntarily dismissed count as a new action, it was resolved in Dubina v. Mesirow Realty Development, Inc., 178 Ill.2d 496, 504 , 227 I
