J. Dorsey grants the taxi company's motion to dismiss the concert of action claim. The company's driver filed an insurance claim against the other driver's policy after an accident, causing the other driver's rates to go up. The other driver's concert of action claim says the claim was false but fails to identify a scheme the company had with a lawyer it referred to its driver. The only relevant allegations against the company are that its driver “most likely” knew to contact the lawyer from the cab company, which would be familiar with personal injury lawyers.

J. Womack finds the circuit court improperly dismissed the driver involved in a single car accident’s legal malpractice claim brought against the lawyers who represented her in a negligence suit brought against individuals and entities possibly responsible for the alleged negligence that led to the crash. The lawyers failed to properly serve the defendants, who then filed a successful motion to dismiss because the statute of limitations had run. The attorneys’ conduct amounts to fraud in this confidential or fiduciary relationship. The driver has pleaded sufficient facts to establish fraudulent concealment. Reversed and remanded.

J. Gilbert denies a senior citizen’s motion to produce documents from the City of Chicago. The senior had her car towed without ever having been given prior notice, and only got the runaround from city workers when she tried to recover it. Eventually, it was sold to a private lot and scrapped, and the senior received no proceeds from the sale. The senior now seeks documents she claims the city is withholding in order to hamper her class action unjust enrichment case against it, but the court finds it needs more information. It denies her motion without prejudice pending the parties briefs on whether the documents in question should or should not be considered privileged.
