Dept. of Transportation v. Keller

2 Citing cases

  1. Department of Conservation v. Jones

    389 N.E.2d 1197 (Ill. 1979)   Cited 6 times
    Noting that the Interest Act had been applied to condemnation judgments since at least 1897

    However, on August 18, 1978, the Appellate Court for the Fourth District had held, to the contrary, that interest on such condemnation awards accrues not from the date of the verdict but from the date the condemnor actually takes possession of the property. ( Department of Transportation v. Keller (1978), 63 Ill. App.3d 237.) No leave to appeal was sought from the decision of the Fourth District. The issue, quite simply, is whether the Interest Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1977, ch. 74, par. 1 et seq.) is applicable to eminent domain proceedings.

  2. Lake County Forest Preserve District v. Vernon Hills Development Corp.

    96 Ill. App. 3d 689 (Ill. App. Ct. 1981)   Cited 2 times

    The Jones court further found that by virtue of section 3 of the Interest Act, interest is to accrue on a condemnation award from the date of the verdict, nor from the date that the condemnor actually takes possession of the property. Contra, Department of Transportation v. Keller (1978), 63 Ill. App.3d 237. In support of its contention that interest did not accrue during the pendency of the appeal by the Corporation, the District relies heavily on two cases, City of Chicago v. Schorsch Realty Co. (1972), 6 Ill. App.3d 1074, and County of Cook v. Malysa (1968), 39 Ill.2d 376.
