2019Skillom, 2017 IL App (2d) 150681, ¶ 25 . ¶ 87 The defendant argues that the State’s participation at the preliminary inquiry in this case was adversarial and “more than de minimis.” This is so, he contends, because the State was permitted to make direct arguments against his claims of ineffective assistance of counsel.

1934(Enright v. Knights and Ladies of Security, 253 Ill. 460 .) Restrictions upon the power of an agent of an insurance company to waive any of the conditions of the contract or upon the manner of such waiver are themselves conditions of the contract, which may be waived the same as any other condition of the policy. ’ ’ In Zeman v. North American Union, 263 Ill. 304 , on p. 312, the court held: “The law is well settled in this State that the provisions of the by-laws of mutual benefit societies of this character may be waived by the society; that the local lodge or council of such society is the

1913(Enright v. Knights and Ladies of Security, 253 Ill. 460 .) Restrictions upon the power of an agent of an insurance company to waive any of the conditions of the contract or upon the manner of such waiver are themselves conditions of the contract, which may be waived, the same as any other condition of the policy.

1932(Dromgold v. Royal Neighbors, 261 Ill. 60 ; Zeman v. North American Union, 263 id. 304; Guter v. Security Benefit Ass’n, supra.) A general agent clothed with power to solicit insurance, receive the application and forward it to the company, receive and deliver the policy and collect the premium, has power to waive a condition of the policy notwithstanding that power is negatived by provisions in the policy and his contract of employment.

1929(Dromgold v. Royal Neighbors, 261 Ill. 60 ; Zeman v. North American Union, 263 id. 304.) The rule as to what constitutes a warranty in an application for a mutual benefit certificate differs where the application is filled out and the questions answered by the insured and where the questions are asked and the application is filled out by an agent of the society, and in the former case, where the answers are false and no information as to their falsity is given to the agent, the benefit certificate may be declared void by the society.

2026Although Ortiz and David demonstrate that this framework is not an end-all-be-all for assessing circumstantial evidence of discrimination, the critical takeaway from Ortiz and David is that all evidence of discrimination, no matter direct or indirect, must be evaluated together in a single pile. - 16 - No. 1-25-0147 Given that the only alleged evidence of the Association discriminating against the Schoffs was circumstantial and the Commission analyzed that evidence using the McDonnell Douglas framework, which is a proper manner of analysis (see David, 846 F.3d at 224 ), to determine whether th

2026He contends that such a “comparator analysis” is pertinent here because -7- No. 1-24-1876 this court employed a similar manner of analysis in Roman v. Cook County Sheriff’s Merit Board, 2014 IL App (1st) 123308 , ¶¶ 144-152. ¶ 24 However, Officer Marrero’s reliance on Roman is completely unavailing, as that case is readily distinguishable from the one at hand.

2024People v. Phillips, 2017 IL App (4th) 160557, ¶ 58 .

2024Defendant argues Holmes’s handwritten affidavit would have been strong evidence for defense counsel to use to disavow Holmes’s inculpation of defendant. ¶ 90 While the failure to impeach a key witness can constitute deficient performance (People v. Lawson, 2019 IL App (4th) 180452, ¶ 53 ), the manner in which defense counsel impeaches a witness is considered a matter of trial strategy and is generally immune from claims of ineffective assistance of counsel.

2022People v. Jolly, 2014 IL 117142, ¶ 28 . ¶ 25 At the hearing on the motion to reconsider sentence, the circuit court asked the defendant for a specific example of what had displeased him about defense counsel.

2021This record simply does not support defendant’s claim that “the court’s rulings effectively neutered the expertise of the sole defense witness.” ¶ 30 Defendant also argues that the trial court improperly “restricted the substance of Dr. Loftus’s testimony.” Defendant relies heavily on People v. Lerma, 2016 IL 118496 , where our supreme court “reiterate[d] *** that eyewitness identification is an appropriate subject for expert testimony.” Id. ¶ 28.

2013In any event, for that and other reasons,1 I would decline to apply it here. 1 For example, the Tersavich court redefined the manner in which a claim under the Act accrues, in the parlance of the discovery rule, and that newly created standard was in large part “derived from firmly rooted principles of the law of trusts.” Tersavich, 194 Ill.

1989Thus, the supreme court concluded that the trial court can, in a section 2— 118.1 hearing, consider whether an officer’s report is sworn. ( 122 Ill. 2d at 54 , 521 N.E.2d at 886 .) The court went on to hold that, in light of legislative intent and the seriousness of the public hazard that summary suspension legislation addresses, “the General Assembly intended an officer’s good-faith failure to initially swear to the report to be curable.” 122 Ill. 2d at 59 , 521 N.E.2d at 888-89 .

1987The State argues (1) defendant has waived this issue since he neither objected to the remarks when they were made, nor raised them in his post-trial motion, citing People v. Long (1968), 39 Ill. 2d 40, 43 , 233 N.E.2d 389, 391 , and other cases; and (2) the cases relied on by defendant are distinguishable.
