Suwanski v. Village of Lombard, 342 Ill.App.3d 248, 794 N.E.2d 1016, 276 Ill. Dec. 766 (2 nd Dist. 2003). This is the first reported case in Illinois where a Plaintiff overturned on appeal the granting of defendant’s summary judgment motion at the trial court level in a police pursuit case. American Family Mut. Ins. Co. v. Enright, 334 Ill.App.3d 1026, 269 Ill. Dec. 597 Ill. App. (2 nd Dist. 2002). This case is the first time in Illinois that an insurance company was held responsible for defending and indemnifying a business policy holder for negligent hiring of an employee who committed a sexual assault on a third party related to his employment. Hall v. Henn, (2 nd Dist. 2005 ). 208 Ill.App.3 rd 325, 802 NE2nd 979 (Illinois Supreme Court, 2003). The defendants built and maintained the sled run in their backyard, which was made purely of ice and snow. They admitted the luge-like course was not intended nor available for public use. The defendants invited the plaintiff to use their property and the Plaintiff, not aware the sled run had been watered down, slipped on the ice and was seriously injured. With this background, the Illinois Supreme Court had no alternative than to affirm the appellate court, which reversed the trial court’s granting of summary judgment in favor of the Henn's. The Court determined that the legislature did not intend the Act to immunize the Henn's who never made their private property available to the public, as the Act prescribes.
