Ottawa -- Class action suits aren’t allowed under Illinois law and the Third District Appellate Court in Ottawa isn’t going to make an exception. Judges William Holdridge, Tom Lytton, and Mary McDade have ruled against allowing class action status in a Grundy County property tax objection that has a lot in common with a LaSalle County case.
Both cases have to do with the county levying a tax for a tort immunity fund but spending it on other things. A different panel of the appellate court ruled the same way last year in the LaSalle County tax objection. Lawyers for about 1,500 property tax objectors were hoping to have all LaSalle County property tax payers made plaintiffs by default.
