Harvest Church of Our Lord v. The City East St. Louis, Illinois

The one-year statute of limitations in Section 8-101(a) of Tort Immunity Act does not apply to cause of action for damages per Section 1-4-7 of Municipal Code. Language in Section 2-101(e) of Tort Immunity Act which states that nothing in the Act affects the liability of a local public entity or employee based on Section 1-4-7 of Municipal Code obviates the application of this one-year statute of limitations to Plaintiff's wrongful-demolition action. Plaintiff's suit for wrongful demolition is thus not barred by the one-year statute of limitations of Section 8-101(a) of Tort Immunity Act. (CHAPMAN and GOLDENHERSH, concurring.)
