Reynolds v. Dept. of Public Aid

3 Citing cases

  1. Cornue v. Department of Public Aid

    354 N.E.2d 359 (Ill. 1976)   Cited 2 times

Resort to judicial action is neither expedient nor practical every time the existence of a life-care contract becomes an issue in the case of an applicant for old age assistance.
