Appellate Court of Illinois

In a suit arising from a slip and fall accident, summary judgment for defendant and denial of plaintiff's motion for leave to amend her complaint and motion to strike the defendant's climatic data is affirmed over claims that the trial court erred by: 1) holding that defendant owed no duty to the plaintiff to provide a safe means of egress from the parking garage; 2) holding that defendant did not have a contractually created duty to the plaintiff to remove natural accumulations of snow from the employee parking structure; 3) holding there was no genuine issue of material fact as to whether defendant caused an unnatural accumulation of snow and ice; 4) holding there was no genuine issue of material fact as to whether defendant negligently plowed the natural accumulations of snow; 5) denying the plaintiff's motion to amend her complaint; and 6) denying the plaintiff's motion to strike defendant's exhibit of climate reports.
