Tims v. Black Horse Carriers, Inc.

Summary

The Illinois Supreme Court held that the five-year catchall limitations period applies to all claims under section 15 of the Biometric Information Privacy Act because the Act contains no limitations period of its own. The court rejected applying different limitations periods to different subsections, concluding that a single period promotes certainty, predictability, uniformity, and consistency with the Act's purposes. The appellate judgment was affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded; no separate opinions were issued.
