Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Employment
Seasonal employees sued Park District for breach of contract in termination of their employment. Plaintiffs alleged terminations may have been illegal, but without supporting facts, and court granted motions 2-615 and 2-619 motion to dismiss, granting leave to amend within 90 days. Court erred in allowing Plaintiffs to conduct discovery to determine if they could discover a cause of action. Complaint and employee handbook establish that Plaintiffs were at-will employees subject to termination for any reason other than improper reason, and Plaintiffs admit they have no evidence that termination was for any legally improper reason. (WRIGHT, concurring; LYTTON, specially concurring.)
