1Opinion of the CourtJustice Quetsch
The plaintiff, Roger Summers, filed a breach of contract action against the defendant, the Village of Durand, which had fired him from his position as chief of police. The plaintiff sought back pay and lost benefits in the total amount of $108,000. The defendant moved to dismiss the complaint, apparently pursuant to section 2 — 615 of the Code of Civil Procedure (735 ILCS 5/2 — 615 (West 1992)), arguing that the.plaintiff had failed to state a cause of action for breach of contract and that the plaintiff’s claim was barred by loches. The trial court dismissed the action. We reverse and remand.
