Appellate Court of Illinois
The City of Chicago v. Beythel Outcast Church, 1061724
In a suit alleging building code violations in a building owned by plaintiff-City, but possessed by defendant, dismissal of plaintiff-City's amended complaint against defendants for lack of jurisdiction over the City as a defendant is reversed where: 1) there is no reason why the trial court is not able to completely adjudicate the controversy with the City present in the action as the plaintiff; 2)the City could not be both the plaintiff and defendant; and 3) the Chicago Municipal Code does not state that the City is required to sue all parties with liability, including itself as an owner.
