Recently in Buenz v. Frontline, Tom Crisham, Jean Prendergast and Kate Reilly successfully defended the appeal of the granting of a motion for summary judgment. The circuit court granted the co-defendant/indemnitee's motion for summary judgment on Count IV of its counterclaim for a declaration that the petitioner was obligated pursuant to the interchange agreement to indemnify the co-defendant for "any and all" costs, expenses, damages, and liability in an underlying personal injury and wrongful death action. The Appellate Court, First District affirmed. This matter is currently pending in the Illinois Supreme Court and the oral argument is set for the November 19, 2007.
