PREFACE

The opinions of the Court of Claims reported herein are published by authority of the provisions of Section 18 of the Court of Claims Act, 705 ILCS 505/1 et seq., formerly Ill. Rev. Stat. 1991, ch. 37, par. 439.1 et seq.

The Court of Claims has exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine the following matters: (a) all claims against the State of Illinois founded upon any law of the State, or upon any regulation thereunder by an executive or administrative officer or agency, other than claims arising under the Workers' Compensation Act or the Workers' Occupational Diseases Act, or claims for certain expenses in civil litigation, (b) all claims against the State founded upon any contract entered into with the State, (c) all claims against the State for time unjustly served in prisons of this State where the persons imprisoned shall receive a pardon from the Governor stating that such pardon is issued on the grounds of innocence of the crime for which they were imprisoned, (d) all claims against the State in cases sounding in tort, (e) all claims for recoupment made by the State against any Claimant, (f) certain claims to compel replacement of a lost or destroyed State warrant, (g) certain claims based on torts by escaped inmates of State institutions, (h) certain representation and indemnification cases, (i) all claims pursuant to the Law Enforcement Officers, Civil Defense Workers, Civil Air Patrol Members, Paramedics, Firemen & State Employees Compensation Act, (j) all claims pursuant to the Illinois National Guardsman's Compensation Act, and (k) all claims pursuant to the Crime Victims Compensation Act.

A large number of claims contained in this volume have not been reported in full due to quantity and general similarity of content. These claims have been listed according to the type of claim or disposition. The categories they fall within include: claims in which orders of awards or orders of dismissal were entered without opinions, claims based on lapsed appropriations, certain State employees' back salary claims, prisoners and inmates-missing property claims, claims in which orders and opinions of denial were entered without opinions, refund cases, medical vendor claims, Law Enforcement Officers, Civil Defense Workers, Civil Air Patrol Members, Paramedics, Firemen & State Employees Compensation Act claims and certain claims based on the Crime Victims Compensation Act. However, any claim which is of the nature of any of the above categories, but which also may have value as precedent, has been reported in full.
