City of Chicago v. Siebert

3 Citing cases

  1. Bassick Co. v. Miss. Valley Erection Co.

    432 N.E.2d 1146 (Ill. App. Ct. 1982)   Cited 2 times

    In return Cunningham agreed to make good any financial loss ultimately accruing to Bassick by promising to fully repay Bassick should Mississippi fail to do so. An agreement to pay a loss which results by reason of a third party doing or refraining from doing a particular thing is a contract for indemnity. City of Chicago v. Siebert (1927), 244 Ill. App. 83. • 2 The Bassick Agreement has of necessity altered the relationship of its signatories.

  2. Griefen v. Garin

    318 Ill. App. 151 (Ill. App. Ct. 1943)

    In re Estate of Togneri, 296 Ill. App. 33, 24 C.J. 498. He is not liable personally to reimburse the estate and under the general rule, since there is no proof of any loss by him, then by the terms of its obligation, the defendant is not liable. City of Chicago v. Siebert, 244 Ill. App. 83; Corn Belt Bank v. Maryland Casualty Co., 281 Ill. App. 387. Plaintiff does not dispute these principles, and we believe they are sound for otherwise administration of estates of decedent would suffer for lack of confident, conscientious representatives.

  3. National Slovak Society for Use of v. Matlocha

    29 N.E.2d 946 (Ill. App. Ct. 1940)   Cited 4 times

    No cause of action arises on an indemnifying bond until it has been definitely ascertained that loss or damage has been sustained. City of Chicago v. Siebert, 244 Ill.

The resolutions and minutes of the society which were read to the jury were clearly incompetent as being merely hearsay.
