Elliot v. Villa Park Trust & Savings Bank
Appellate Court of Illinois
Decided August 30, 1978No. 77-181PublishedCited by 17 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
Mr. PRESIDING JUSTICE SEIDENFELD
delivered the opinion of the court:
Chattels in which the defendant Villa Park Trust & Savings Bank held a security interest were left in the premises of the plaintiff George Elliot by a tenant upon termination of his lease.
