green

King, 18 Ill. 2010The court explained that its rule, which would disregard a general statute of limitations where a more specific limitations period is embedded within the statute itself, was based on the idea that “compliance with fixed limitations within the statute is indispensable to the maintenance of a right thereunder” because the time element of the statute “is such an integral part of the enactment *** that it necessarily is a condition of the liability itself and not on the remedy alone.” King, 18 Ill. | 2 | 2010–2010 |

West End Savings & Loan Ass'n v. Smith
green
2 sentences1998The court explained that this rule was based on the theory that when an administrative agency is given authority to decide matters which are "not judicially cognizable," and a statute "vest[s] in courts a supervisory power which is not limited *354 to a review of the administrative action but extends to a redetermination of factual issues, [the effect of the statute] is to grant, unlawfully, a power to exercise executive functions."

Zeh v. Wheeler
green
2 sentences1996In Zeh v. Wheeler, 111 Ill. 2d 266 (1986), this court explained that the test for whether an amended complaint relates back under section 2 — 616(b) to the original pleading for statute of limitations purposes does not depend on whether the amended complaint asserts the "same cause of action” pleaded in the original complaint. 1996This conclusion was in error. *1224 In Zeh v.

People v. Geiler
green
2 sentences2025With respect to the first exception to the presumption, the legislature likely intended a consequence to be mandatory when “a statute expressly prescribes a consequence for failure to obey its command or it uses negative language such as ‘no such ordinance shall take effect until,’ importing that the command shall not be executed in any other manner or time.” Id. 2025The court explained that the presumption is overcome and a provision is mandatory only if “ ‘(1) negative language in the statute or rule prohibits further action in the case of noncompliance or (2) the right the statute or rule is designed to protect would generally be injured under a directory reading.’ ” Id.
