Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Chancery
Mothers of minor children living in foster care filed a complaint in chancery court challenging the suspension of in-person supervised visits with their children due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The trial court dismissed the complaint with prejudice on the basis that it was moot and not properly the subject of chancery proceedings. The appellate court affirmed but agreed with the plaintiffs that the dismissal should have been without prejudice and modified the judgment accordingly. (HOFFMAN and CUNNINGHAM, concurring)
