Members and managers of limited liability companies can no longer hide behind what was previously a cloak of immunity under of section 10-10 of the Illinois Limited Liability Company Act. On August 23, 2019, the Illinois legislature approved an amendment to section 10-10 of the Illinois Limited Liability Company Act (805 ILCS 180/10-10), which specifically overrules the cases of
Dass v. Yale, 2013 IL App. (1st) 122520 and
Carollo v. Irwin, 2011 IL App. (1st) 102765.

Beware of Collecting
Fingerprints
By Caroline S. Smith

ith
What are biometrics and why should you be wary of collecting biometric information? Biometrics technology collects information that can identify a person based on certain characteristics, such as fingerprints, voice identification, and facial recognition. As biometrics are becoming easier to collect and utilize, they are becoming more commonplace in our everyday activities, such as being able to open your phone with your fingerprint.

The Appurtenant Easement-
A Valuable Property Right

Does your business or residential property share a common driveway or parking area with the property next door? Do you use the adjoining property for access to your property? Does your property connect to a stormwater drainage system located on the adjoining property? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, then your property may be benefited by an appurtenant easement.

On September 12, 2019, RSP client Christopher Glass and Aluminum was awarded judgment in the amount of $1,598,439.00 against Tishman Construction Corporation of Illinois by Judge Diane Shelley in Cook County Circuit Court in a dispute involving the construction of Vantage Oak Park, a twenty-one story mixed use building in Oak Park Illinois. Christopher Glass was hired by Tishman to install the exterior glass on the shell of the building. The judge also denied Tishman’s counter-claim against Christopher
Glass
in the amount of $16,200,000.00. Tishman
had
alleged that because Christopher was a “critical path” contractor, it delayed construction of the project causing it $16 million in subsequent construction delays and damages to complete the project.
Instead, the Court found in favor of Christopher Glass on the counterclaim and
ruled that the window system Tishman designated did not allow Christopher
Glass
to meet the specifications set forth in the construction contract.
Christopher Glass was represented by RSP attorneys L. Steven Platt, Thomas P. Yardley and Parker E. Lawton.

RSP is saddened by the passing of our partner, colleague and friend,
Robert J. Trizna
(“Bob”) on August 14. He was 66 years old. Bob was a tireless defender of people’s rights and a dedicated community servant. He was admired and respected by his fellow attorneys, clients, and opposing counsel. Tributes have called him a great orator and passionate lawyer as well as a compassionate and generous person to those less fortunate.
He served as a mentor, a sounding board, and a guidepost for colleagues both within and without our Firm.
