Patterson v. Northern Trust Co.
Appellate Court of Illinois
Appeal from the Superior Court of Cook county; the Hon. Demis E. Sum.ivam, Judge, presiding. Heard in the Branch Appellate Court at the October term, 1916.
1Opinion of the Court
Mr. Presiding Justice Barnes
delivered the opinion of the court.
This appeal is from a decree dismissing a bill of complaint at complainant’s costs on motion of certain defendants.
The decree finds “that the said bill of complaint and the matters therein contained and set forth are insufficient, scandalous, impertinent, irrelevant, frivolous and vexatious, and a clear and palpable abuse of the process and offices of this court,” and “have heretofore been finally adjudicated by the final decrees of the courts of this State,” and that said bill was filed in violation of an injunction of the court.
