1978As stated in Collins v. Collins (1958), 14 Ill. 2d 178, 184 , 151 N.E.2d 813 , 816: “It is a settled principle of law that where parties are in pari delicto, the court will refuse to extend them aid, but it is equally true that where the State is an interested party, the contributing guilt of the parties to the suit will not bar the granting of relief.

1995We do not here decide whether Continental has the right to control the defense for Ellis in the underlying suit under the standard our supreme court established in Murphy v. Urso (1981), 88 Ill. 2d 444 , 430 N.E.2d 1079 , since that issue is more properly decided in the underlying lawsuit.

1989In so doing, the court noted the Bates court’s observations that “ ‘[w]hen the defendant has notice from the beginning of the suit of the claim against it, the reason for statutes of limitations is not as important. *** It was never intended that such statutes would be the means by which a corporation could escape liability of a tort claim * * * by confusing its identity through a complex intermingling of its corporation names and structure with that of other similar corporations.’ ” (Shiner, 161 Ill.

1983As the supreme court noted in DeBruyn v. Elrod (1981), 84 Ill. 2d 128 , 418 N.E.2d 413 , laches is not simply a matter of delay or passage of time.

1963(See, however, the recent opinion in Tower Finance Corp. v. Winemiller, 43 Ill App2d 10, 192 NE2d 411 .) Since the situation in the present case is not covered by the opinion in the Lawrence case, the real question is whether plaintiff is precluded from institnting this suit under the doctrine of election of remedies, i. e., whether by suing on the note it waived its right to sue in tort for fraud.

1941Subsequently, in Arcara v. Moresse, 258 N. Y. 211 (1932), the same court, by a unanimous opinion, held that the owner “operated” the car, although another was lawfully driving it, pointing out that the decision in the Witherstine case was based on the fact that there “Obviously the word [operated] is used in the policy in the same sense in which it is used in the Highway Law,” and there was involved in the Highway Law “a word combination” which required a narrower interpretation of the term “operated” because as said in the Witherstine case, “If the meaning were extended to include an owner ac

1924The court also said (p. 323): “All the States by proper statutes authorize actions against nonresidents, and service of summons therein by publication only, or service in some other form no better; and, in the nature of things, such must be done in every jurisdiction, in order that full and complete justice may be done where some of the parties are nonresidents.” In the case of Robinson v. Kind, 23 Nev. 330 , the court said (pp. 342-343): “The suit at bar is brought to cancel a deed of conveyance of real and personal property situated in Eureka and White Pine counties, Nevada, and revest the t
