Lempa v. Finkelgreen2 sentences2021Id. ¶ 22 I. ¶ 23 Jacob first argues that the doctrine of election of remedies precluded the court from entering summary judgment against him because plaintiff sought recovery from Jane Cluver in her bankruptcy case. ¶ 24 “The doctrine of election of remedies is applicable only where one party has elected inconsistent remedies for the same injury or cause of action.” Lempa v. Finkel, 278 Ill. 2008“The doctrine of election of remedies is applicable only where a party has elected inconsistent remedies for the same injury or cause of action. [Citations.] The prosecution of one remedial right to judgment or decree constitutes an election barring subsequent prosecution of inconsistent remedial rights. [Citations.] For instance, a remedy based on the affirmance of a contract (e.g., damages) is generally inconsistent with one based on the disaffirmance of the contract (e.g., rescission). [Citations.] Thus, the election of either remedy is an abandonment of the other.” Lempa v. Finkel, 278 Ill | 5 | 5 |
