Marathon Oil Co. v. Briceland

3 Citing cases

  1. People v. Palmer

    120 Ill. App. 3d 707 (Ill. App. Ct. 1983)   Cited 3 times

    I recognize the doctrine of stare decisis. (See Neff v. George (1936), 364 Ill. 306, 308-09, 4 N.E.2d 388; Marathon Oil Co. v. Briceland (1979), 75 Ill. App.3d 189, 191, 394 N.E.2d 44.) But, I seriously question the applicability of that principle to the case at bar, for "the precedents we create are not for all times; law must respond to changing conditions in society."

  2. Hoffman v. Nustra

    Defining "appellee"

    " ( Panchinsin v. The Enterprise Companies (1983), 117 Ill. App.3d 441, 444.) Although stare decisis is not universally applicable to all situations without exception ( Neff v. George (1936), 364 Ill. 306), "` [s]tare decisis is usually the wise policy, because in most matters it is more important that the applicable rule of law be settled than it be settled right.'" Marathon Oil Co. v. Briceland (1979), 75 Ill. App.3d 189, 192. Schlessinger III ( Schlessinger v. Olsen (1982), 107 Ill. App.3d 302) determined the question of constitutionality of Public Act 80-1334, and the question "deliberately examined and decided" in Schlessinger IV was "the disposition of tax monies collected under [Public Act 80-1334 (statute II)] which was in effect from August 7, 1978, to May 17, 1979" ( Schlessinger v. Olsen (1984), 102 Ill.2d 497, 499).

  3. Chicago Transit Auth. v. Industrial Com

    • 1 It will be noted from the Commission's decision that the Commission has followed the practice of summary affirmance in the absence of the summary sheet since 1981. An administrative agency's interpretation of its own rules is generally considered to be persuasive and is afforded deference by the courts. ( Environmental Protection Agency v. Pollution Control Board (1981), 86 Ill.2d 390, 427 N.E.2d 162; Marathon Oil Co. v. Briceland (1979), 75 Ill. App.3d 189, 394 N.E.2d 44.) An Agency's interpretation of its own rules also binds the agency as its policy and must be followed by the agency. ( Scheffki v. Board of Fire Police Commissioners (1974), 23 Ill. App.3d 971, 320 N.E.2d 371.)
