Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit July 9, 1998, Nos. 97-1309, 97-1343 (Jansen v. Aaron Process Equipment Co.)

DIANE P. WOOD, Circuit Judge.

In this case, we return to the perplexing relation among three Illinois statutes as they existed at the time of the events giving rise to this litigation (and indeed, as they once again read): the Illinois Modified Comparative Fault Statute, Ill.Rev.Stat.1991, ch. 110, § 2-1117 (“the Joint Liability Act”), amended and recodified at 735 111. Comp. Stat.
