Argonaut Insurance Co. v. Safway Steel Products, Inc.

Federal Insurance Company (Federal), the intervening plaintiff, appeals from an order of the circuit court of Cook County vacating the grant of Federal’s motion to intervene and dismissing its counterclaim for declaratory relief against Transcontinental Insurance Company (Transcontinental), the intervening defendant.

On appeal, Federal raises the following issues: (1) whether the circuit court erred in vacating its order granting Federal’s motion to intervene, and (2) whether Federal’s amended declaratory judgment complaint against Transcontinental was properly dismissed.
