Krozel v. Illinois Court of Claims
2017 IL App (1st) 162068 · Illinois Appellate Court, First District · 2017
Holding
Certiorari in circuit court is available to challenge a due process violation in a Court of Claims proceeding (adequate notice and an opportunity to be heard), but not to review whether the Court of Claims decided the merits correctly; legal error alone is not a due process violation.
Context
Indemnity claimant sought certiorari review of a limitations dismissal. Collects the reviewability rules: the Act provides no appeal; the Court of Claims is a fact-finding body, not a judicial-article court; only fundamental deprivations (e.g., no opportunity to be heard, cf. Rossetti) support certiorari.
