Gezendorf v. Washburn

Defendant, John Washburn, former Director of the Illinois Department of Insurance, appeals from the January 19, 1990, order of the trial court reversing an administrative order. Washburn contends that (1) the trial court lacked jurisdiction to review the administrative findings; (2) the trial court erred in ordering the deposition of two potential witnesses and then considering this “new” evidence in reversing the administrative order; and (3) the trial court erred in determining that the administrative decision was against the manifest weight of the evidence. We reverse.
