How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• observing that Illinois follows the “American Rule,” meaning that each party must bear its own attorney fees and costs unless they are expressly authorized by statute or by contractual agreement
• stating that contracts “must allow for attorney fees by specific language, such that one cannot recover if the provision does not specifically state that ‘attorney fees’ are recoverable”
• arguments that do not satisfy Rule 341 do not merit consideration on appeal and may be rejected for that reason alone
