Supreme Court of Illinois

In a personal injury accident arising from a traffic collision, the affidavit of a civil engineer licensed in the District of Columbia is admissible in response to a motion for summary judgement for the defendant, despite the fact that the engineer does not hold an Illinois license, where the qualification of witnesses is a matter for the courts, rather than for the Department of Professional Regulation.
