1994App. 3d at 388 , 608 N.E.2d at 227 .) Although a court may consider the efficacy of a claim in deciding whether or not to allow an amendment to the pleadings, any doubt should be resolved in favor of an amendment.

[Citations.] Thus, the merits of a proposed amendment should be considered, and a trial court should not deny leave to amend solely on the basis of a delay in filing, unless accompanied by a showing of prejudice to the opposing party which goes beyond mere inconvenience.

2024Like the court in Skokie Firefighters Union, Local 3033, we take “no issue with the general proposition that merely submitting a permissive subject of bargaining to arbitration is not itself an unfair labor practice.” 2016 IL App (1st) 152478 , ¶ 20 & n.1 (stating that the court did not “decide the efficacy of that rule” 2 because the circumstances in the case on review were “sufficiently distinguishable” from case citing that general proposition).

1992(Mundt v. Ragnar Benson, Inc. (1975), 61 Ill. 2d 151, 161 .) Whether discretion was properly exercised is determined by such factors as whether the amendment furthers the ends of justice, the ultimate efficacy of the claim, the previous opportunities to assert the claim, the timeliness of the amendment, and whether other parties are prejudiced or surprised by the amendment.

1992App. 3d 640, 643 , 542 N.E.2d 787 ), any doubt should be resolved in favor of the amendment (Deming v. Montgomery (1989), 180 Ill.

1984While we recognize that a trial court may consider the efficacy of the claim in passing on a motion to amend and that it is proper to deny leave if the proposed amendment does not cure the defects (Cvengros v. Liquid Carbonic Corp. (1981), 99 Ill.

1984App. 3d 376, 379 , 425 N.E.2d 1050 , appeal denied (1981), 85 Ill. 2d 577 ), we believe that the trial court’s somewhat summary disposition of plaintiff’s request to file a second amended complaint was improper.
