Summary
In Sokolis v. Zoning Board of Appeals of Springfield (3rd Dist. 1959), 21 Ill. App.2d 178, 157 N.E.2d 427 (Abstr.), this court considered a case wherein the purchasers paid more than the then worth of property in the expectation of a zoning change or grant of variance. It was there observed that since the plaintiffs deliberately and knowingly put themselves into the position of which they were then complaining, it was difficult to understand the reasoning of the circuit court in its holding that the plight of the plaintiffs was due to unique circumstances.
