Ferguson v. Georges

This case presents question as to whether trial court properly dismissed action by plaintiff-Chicago Inspector General seeking to enforce subpoena issued against defendant-Chicago Corporate Counsel for certain un-redacted copies of documents that defendant claimed were shielded from discovery by attorney-client privilege? Appellate Court, in reversing trial court, found that plaintiff had authority to retain private counsel for purpose of filing instant lawsuit, and that remand was necessary to determine whether subpoenaed documents were shielded by attorney-client privilege. (Dissent filed.)
