How courts have described this case

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

• applying Illinois law and holding that police officers who “usurped” and “misused” their power in conducting a false arrest nevertheless acted within the scope of employment
• discussing joint representation of Village and former mayor and police chief
• “We do not confuse the ‘under color of state law’ element of section 1983 with the ‘scope of employment’ requirement of the indemnification statute. A finding of the first element is not necessarily a finding as to the latter.”
• “We are of the view that those actions having an intimate bearing on the duties normally assigned to the office of employment, even though'usurped or misused, must be considered as falling within the meaning of the term ‘scope of employment.’ ”
