Illinois Supreme Court

City of Rock Falls v. Aims Industrial Services, LLC

January 19, 2024238 N.E.3d 1077

Summary

The court held that when a municipal ordinance expressly authorizes injunctive relief for a continuing violation, the trial court may not balance the equities or refuse the injunction after the violation is established. Because the City's ordinances authorized injunctive relief and Aims continuously violated the requirement to connect to the public sewer, the appellate court correctly reversed the denial of injunctive relief. There were no separate opinions.
