Description
In September 1974 the plaintiff filed a complaint in the circuit court of Cook County based on the same facts as the Federal
complaint and founded upon common law fraud. In the circuit court he claimed that if his cause of action accrued in 1967 and
expired for purposes of the State claims in 1972, that his situation came within section 24 of the Limitations Act (Ill. Rev.
Stat. 1973, ch. 83, par. 24a), which, at that time, allowed a nonsuited plaintiff one year to refile his action if the statute
of limitations had run on his claim. The circuit court held that section 24 was unavailable to the plaintiff because he did
not file within one year of his non-suit, as required by the statute, but instead filed within one year of the affirmance
by the court of appeals of the district court's order.
