• noting that in the strictest sense a “ ‘misrepresentation’ occurs every time a defendant breaches a contract”
• allegations that landscapers failed to perform work properly were actionable only as breach of contract claim, not ICFA claim
• “‘a deceptive act or practice’ involves more than the mere fact that a defendant promised something and then failed to do it”
• “Were our courts to accept plaintiff’s assertion that promises that go unfulfilled are actionable under the Consumer Fraud Act, consumer plaintiffs could convert any suit for breach of contract into a consumer fraud action.”
• “[A] naked breach-of-contract claim does not support a Consumer Fraud Act claim.”
