Outcome
The appellate court affirmed the trial court's denial of attorneys' fees sought by plaintiffs' counsel. The court ruled that the Illinois Civil Rights Act does not provide for attorneys' fees in pension protection clause cases, as such claims do not involve discrimination based on protected classes.
