Cesena v. Du Page County

Appellate Court of Illinois

Decided August 17, 1990No. 2-89-0867PublishedCited by 14 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtJustice Inglis

Contemnor, Jeffrey Fawell, appeals from an order of the circuit court of Du Page County finding him in contempt of court and imposing a $1,000 fine for each day that he refuses to comply with a court order. Fawell contends that he should not be required to comply with the court order because to do so would result in disclosure of information which the attorney-client privilege protects. We note here that Fawell’s position is supported by amici curiae briefs of the Illinois State Bar Association (ISBA), the Du Page County Bar Association, and the Du Page Association of Women Lawyers.
