Illinois Supreme Court
Civil Court
Appellate Jurisdiction
Hospital foundation filed action against state and local taxing authorities to establish that 4 of its properties were exempt from real estate taxation during 8 assessment years. Circuit court’s order granting plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment on 1 count of 4th amended complaint disposed not of a “claim,” but only of an “issue” relating to a claim. Thus, that order was not appealable under Rule 304(a), and circuit court's entry of a Rule 304(a) finding was improper. Appellate court lacked jurisdictioin to review circuit court's order granting Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment. Appellate court's decision vacated; remanded to circuit court. (KARMEIER, FREEMAN, KILBRIDE, GARMAN, BURKE, and THEIS, concurring.)
