Anderson v. Stowell

The plaintiffs, Mark and Linda Anderson, brought suit against the defendants, Willard Stowell, Jackie Stowell, and Carol Doyle. Count II of the plaintiffs’ amended complaint alleged that the Stowells had violated the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act (the Act) (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1987, ch. 1211/2, par. 261 et seq.). The trial court subsequently granted summary judgment in favor of the Stowells on count II of the plaintiffs’ amended complaint. The plaintiffs bring this interlocutory appeal, arguing that the court erred in granting summary judgment.
