Description
On this appeal we are presented with a question arising solely on the pleadings. In 1965 Minnie Maki, as administrator of
the estate of her deceased husband, filed a complaint under the Wrongful Death Act against Calvin Frelk in the circuit court
of Kane County. The complaint is in three counts. Defendant answered as to the allegations of counts I and II, and moved to
strike count III. The court granted the motion, striking count III for failing to state a cause of action. In its order the
court recited that there was no just reason for delaying enforcement or appeal. The plaintiff thereupon sought review by this court but the cause was transferred to the appellate court for lack of any
basis for direct appeal. The appellate court reversed and remanded (Maki v. Frelk, 85 Ill. App.2d 439), and we granted petitions
by both the plaintiff and the defendant for leave to appeal from the appellate court judgment. The National Association of
Independent Insurers and a group of trial lawyers called "Illinois Defense Counsel" have appeared as amici curiae.
