1Opinion of the CourtJustice Cousins
Telenois, Inc. (plaintiff), brought an action against the Village of Schaumburg (defendant) seeking to recover $100,000 that defendant took and retained pursuant to a provision of a cable television franchise agreement executed between the parties. Plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment. The trial court entered summary judgment in plaintiff’s favor based on count III of its complaint, which alleged that the provision of the agreement (letter of credit clause) imposed a penalty and was, therefore, unenforceable as a matter of law. Defendant appealed.
