Appellate Court of Illinois November 13, 2000, 1-98-3520 (Schrager v. Grossman)

JUSTICE TULLY

delivered the opinion of the court:

Defendants appeal from the circuit court’s denial of their motion to dismiss plaintiffs complaint as violative of Illinois’ single-refiling rule (735 ILCS 5/13—217 (West 1998)), as well as the principles of res judicata and collateral estoppel.

For the reasons that follow, we reverse.
