Cases

Taylor and Park v. Kennedy

Kennedy sued Constable Taylor to recover the penalty debt on a security bond for Taylor failing to perform his duties as constable. The circuit court ruled for Kennedy and Taylor and his bond's security Parker appealed to the Illinois Supreme Court. The judgment below was reversed because the declaration failed to specify the bond's execution date and that omission was critical and could impact liability.
