Heng v. Foster

3 Citing cases

  1. Lowry v. Industrial Ins. Appeals

    684 P.2d 678 (Wash. 1984)   Cited 2 times

    Appellant's reasonable belief was sufficient. Similarly, in Heng v. Foster, 63 Ill. App.3d 30, 379 N.E.2d 688 (1978), the court reversed the Illinois Department of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities' decision to discharge a nurse for cause after she failed to report a fellow employee's theft of patient files. The nurse in Heng had learned of the employee's theft while counseling him during a therapy session.

  2. Whipple v. Dep't of Corrections

    518 N.E.2d 386 (Ill. App. Ct. 1987)   Cited 1 times

    As the majority recognizes, the scope of a court's duty in reviewing a decision of the Civil Service Commission is severely limited to determining whether the Commission's findings are supported by the manifest weight of the evidence. ( Heng v. Foster (1978), 63 Ill. App.3d 30, 379 N.E.2d 688.) The Commission's findings and conclusions on questions of fact are prima facie true and correct, and the reviewing court must examine the findings only to determine if they are supported by the manifest weight of the evidence.

  3. Bd. of Educ. v. State Bd. of Educ

    427 N.E.2d 368 (Ill. App. Ct. 1981)   Cited 1 times
    Holding that use of corporal punishment can constitute "cause" for dismissal

    Where the agency decision is against the manifest weight of the evidence it is the reviewing court's duty to reverse. Heng v. Foster (1978), 63 Ill. App.3d 30, 379 N.E.2d 688; Middleton v. License Appeal Com. (1974), 20 Ill. App.3d 534, 314 N.E.2d 596. Relative to the corporal punishment charge, testimony concerning two incidents support the trial court's finding that the agency decision was against the manifest weight of the evidence.
