Solinski v. Higher Learning Comm'n

4 Citing cases

  1. Rattunde v. Scores Chi. Gentleman's Club

    23 C 14706 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 23, 2024)

    Without any additional analysis, certain district courts have followed Gasic and refused to dismiss Illinois Gender Violence Act claims simply because an Illinois Appellate Court concluded that a corporation can be liable under certain circumstances. See Nor v. Alrashid, 2022 WL 815542, at *5 (N.D. Ill. Mar. 17, 2022); Solinski v. Higher Learning Comm'n, 2021 WL 1293841, at *4 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 7, 2021); Doe v. City of Chicago, 2020 WL 1675639, at *4 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 6, 2020).

  2. Butler v. Ford Motor Co.

    21-cv-01244 (N.D. Ill. Sep. 23, 2022)

    See Lewis-Bledsoe v. Ford Motor Co., 2022 WL 2316320, at *3 (N.D. Ill. June 28, 2022). Whereas other courts have declined to dismiss IGVA claims at the motion to dismiss stage in light of the Gasic decision and the lack of a decision from the Illinois Supreme Court. See, e.g., Nor v. Alrashid, 2022 WL 815542, at *5 (N.D. Ill. Mar. 17, 2022); Boeving v. City of Collinsville, Illinois, 2021 WL 5906087, at *3 (S.D. Ill.Dec. 14, 2021); Solinski v. Higher Learning Comm'n, 2021 WL 1293841, at *4 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 7, 2021); Doe v. City of Chicago, 2020 WL 1675639, at *4 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 6, 2020).

  3. Nor v. Alrashid

    20 C 7470 (N.D. Ill. Mar. 17, 2022)   Cited 5 times

    Defendants cite a slew of cases from this District and others which have concluded the IGVA does not apply to corporations, see Robinson v. FedEx Ground Package Sys., Inc., 2020 WL 586866, at *3 (N.D. Ill. 2020) (collecting cases), but ignore courts who have found differently, see Solinski v. Higher Learning Comm'n, 2021 WL 1293841, at *4 (N.D. Ill. 2021) (collecting cases). While the Illinois Supreme Court has yet to address this issue, the Illinois Appellate Court has.

  4. Boeving v. City of Collinsville

    21-cv-00353-JPG (S.D. Ill. Dec. 14, 2021)   Cited 2 times

    under the IGVA, the Court will not dismiss Ms. Boeving's claim under the IVGA against Defendant Collinsville at this juncture. See also Solinski v. Higher Learning Comm'n, No. 1:20-CV-05236, 2021 WL 1293841, at *4 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 7, 2021) (denying defendant THLC motion to dismiss because the Illinois Appellate Court in Gasic concluded a corporation can be liable under IGCA under certain circumstances without addressing those circumstances); Doe v. City of Chicago, No. 19 C 7375, 2020 WL 1675639, at *4 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 6, 2020) (court acknowledging the court split but not addressing the implications of the Gasic holding); cf Mundo v. City of Chicago, No. 20 C 2562, 2021 WL 3367160, at *5 (N.D. Ill. Aug. 3, 2021) (finding Gasic does not reflect how the Illinois Supreme Court would rule on the issue and granting the City of Chicago's motion to dismiss claim under IVGA). The Court hereby DENIES Defendants' Motion to Dismiss Count IV.
