conscious violation in Illinois

1917The first case in which it was attempted to define what was meant by wilful violation of the statute was Aetitus v. Spring Valley Coal Co., 246 Ill. 32 , where there was a very thorough and exhaustive discussion of the question and it was held : “We do not think the owner or operator of a mine can excuse himself from liability growing out of a wilful violation of the Mines and Mining Act,—that is, from a conscious violation of the act,—in failing to properly examine the mine and mark dangerous places therein which are known to him, on the ground that his examiner or manager in good faith thoug

1915In Actitus v. Spring Valley Coal Co., 246 Ill. 32 , it is said: “We do not think the owner or operator of a mine can excuse himself from liability growing out of a wilful violation of the Mines and MiMng Act,—that is, from a conscious violation of the act,—in failing to properly examine the mine and mark dangerous places therein which are known to him, on the ground that his examiner or manager in good faith thought the place was not dangerous.” The objections made by plaintiff in error to the rulings of the court upon the propositions of fact and law submitted by it do not appear to us to be

1928An act consciously omitted is wilfully omitted within the meaning of the word “wilful.” (Kellyville Coal Co. v. Strine, 217 Ill. 516 .) The testimony of several witnesses for appellee tended to show that, while the sandblast room was in operation, during the time May worked for appellant, the pressure of the air and sand against the castings created a dust which remained in the sandblast room while the operator was working; that the suction equipment was operated over quite a period of time while it was faulty; that frequently holes were worn in the air pipes and, as a result, the suction pipe

1906And section 33 provides that: “For an injury to person or property, occasioned by any wilful violation of this act, or wilful failure to comply with any of its provisions, a right of action shall accrue to the party injured forvany direct damages sustained thereby.” “A wilful violation, within the meaning of the statute, signifies a conscious violation.” “An act consciously omitted is wilfully omitted, in the meaning of the word ‘ wilful, K as used in these enactments of our legislature relative to the duty of mine owners.” Kellyville Coal Co. v. Strine, 217 Ill. 516 (528).

1908(Marquette Third Vein Coal Co. v. Dielie, 208 Ill. 116 .) We think it apparent, therefore, upon principle, that the trial court properly left to the jury the question whether the failure of the mine examiner of appellant to comply with the duties imposed upon him as such mine examiner by the statute constituted a willful violation of the Mines and Mining act and whether such failure was the proximate cause of appellee’s injury.

2018Finally, the court commented: "And the third scenario where this would apply is as I indicated by the conscious waiver of the privilege, basically when someone communicates in the presence of a third party or one's knowledge of [ sic ] a third party has received it." ¶ 10 The State filed a certificate of impairment pursuant to People v. Young , 82 Ill. 2d 234 , 45 Ill.Dec. 150 , 412 N.E.2d 501 (1980), stating that the trial court's order barring the communications substantially impaired its ability to prosecute this case.

1906The admission of the class of proof here complained of, to establish purpose, intent, malice, knowledge or other mental state in a party, forms an exception to the general rule heretofore stated, which prohibits the proof of collateral facts to establish the facts relied upon as a ground of recovery. (1 Elliott on Evidence, secs. 161-165.) In Thomas v. People, 59 Ill. 160 , it was held if the intent cannot be implied from the facts and circumstances which, with the intent, constitute a crime, then other acts of the party from which it can be implied may be proved.
