Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Expert Witnesses
Plaintiff sued salon for skin injuries sustained from "Vitamin C facial" after "seaweed facial" which caused skin irritation. Court properly barred Plaintiff's esthetician expert opinion testimony and granted summary judgment for Defendant, as Plaintiff presented no evidence of standard of care for esthetician at time of incident. Court within its discretion in concluding that bases for expert's opinion were insufficient to qualify her as expert, and expert did not become licensed until two years after incident. (HUTCHINSON and BURKE, concurring.)
