for the factual information we looked at the complaint because that's all there is he can says that ensured the workers risk of tyree's gamble that for a period of time before that he has reported no employees that they received a claim from the josh poor during this particular policy period saying he was an employee working for campbell they indicate that that significant to them that they have taken into account the past representation that impacts their intent to insure and based on that the existence of different in the sense that the creamy i'm assessment doesn't really occur with any finality until you know the policy here says the premium shown on the information page and endorsement is an estimate the final premium will be determined after this policy hands using the actual not the estimated salaries that have been paid so i point that out to suggest that it isn't entirely accurate when they say our policy was the term based on this information that mr campbell gave during the period in which mr poor had an injury because at the conclusion of that policy they come back and audit and determine what the premium should be and an audit is something that is kind of specific but that's also defined in the policy both of which is within the policy period that they're asking to have resend it ran from april of two thousand and eleven until april of two thousand and twelve the legal standard that gets into these overlapping cases i receive some assistance in understanding it with the case of bradley versus marion city america and i see three situations that arise when you have an overlap between that and ministry of agency and the circuit court in this instance are ministry of agencies the workers compensation mission when you have comp benefits at issue that's one hundred percent industrial commission i'm sorry workers compensation commissions are fiction to decide when you have no administrative agency involved circuit court case responded superior where they allege the employee of the person they're asking to be held responsible the employer and when that is decided that's certainly a subject matter for the circuit court because there's no administrative agency there claiming any right of jurisdiction then we fall into the cases like this one where there's a blend of both of them and that's where the supreme court employer mutual versus skilling made a distinction between cases that involve legal issues only and cases that involve factual issues that are more appropriate for the administrative agency to decide and that's what we say this situation is if there was no factual dispute if peak unsaid campbell's making a claim for himself and look at our policy it says campbell excluded himself who probably we don't have an obligation to defend that claim the court could decide that based on the facts in front of it but because there is no dispute on the facts but that's not the situation we have here this is a situation where they say upon information and belief he had an employee there is no agreement that he had an employee based on that we believe that the industrial commission given instructions from the supreme court has a great deal of expertise and history in determining employer employee relationships and that is because of the  that decision should lie with them now the response to that from pekin says but he didn't come he didn't show he got to fall therefore he admits everything well not everything he had mitts well pleaded material facts i save that's not an issue here because they failed to affirm to lee allege ultimate facts they say in various paragraphs of the complaint that upon information and belief he employed mr poor that says they think it but it is it doesn't matter the bankruptcy or state proceeding and there's no jurisdiction there and i go back to the bradley vs city of marion case again where they say parties can't stipulate agree wave or do anything to give a circuit court jurisdiction if it doesn't exist in the first place so if we can't get together and give the circuit court jurisdiction here i'm suggesting that it can also him voluntarily be given by campbell not appearing worker's comp is an unusual circumstance where it's alleged that he's a contractor and because of that he's in a hazardous employment and the two thousand and eleven amendment required employers to carry comp coverage and made a class a misdemeanor if they didn't and brings this treasurer in as a party if there no insurance involved when a claim is made so this is a significant issue and i'm still suggesting that the appropriate place for it is before the workers compensation motion several cases kind of support this i'm not going to say it was that exactly this case out there but the concept of primary jurisdiction is what i say the three a legal issue circuit court decides that it's a factual issue that the solution is left to the administrative agency that has the expertise in making that decision cheating a case involving employer failing to file have worker's comp insurance they brought a civil case against him because when you have no worker's comp insurance civil matters can be brought you're not protected part of the september two thousand and eleven amendment and the court there said the existence of worker's comp insurance is a factual matter that specifically reserved for the industrial commission so that was sent back hollywood trucking they sue a doctor and the employee claiming that there was a fraudulent misrepresentation of the employee's physical status when he was hired and they want the worker's comp they paid returned to them and this is a legal theory very similar to this because this suggests a fraud or a misrepresentation just like hollywood trucking suggests frog or misrepresentation and again the court said that since it involves factual issues especially the existence of matters that impact the workers comp benefits that it would be a matter for the industry commission i don't see where pekin suffered any harm by whatever representation was made because they have the opportunity at the end of this policy to audits and accurately assessed premium and i guess curiously i'm not sure what risk they undertook for the premium they paid because they objection of arose because somebody said they're saying we didn't take a risk in this thing this was a good one now all of a sudden this case that we thought we didn't have anything to cover they want to cover they want some coverage on it and that by workers there are certain contractors that require the certificate and there is a little teeny risk out there that if he hired a subcontractor who had no comp insurance and that some contractor had an employee that got injured they could come back on him under what's ca statutory employer but primarily he buys it to satisfy people he works for and there were other coverages in this policy there was some  don't have any employees and i've got coverage for this period and then he picks up a job where he has to have a couple of employees and your theory is after the audit they were going to say you did have a couple employees during that period so we have jacked a premium to take into account the risk that we took and that's why it's not like a car policy work covers in the beginning for a flat rate and the real why is you never know if it's not real closely connected issues that the industrial workers kept mission might find to be employment related so if you can't define the people when the policy begins a way you can cover a car they please a court counsel my name is philip grant and i'm i'm the have them keep insurance company right i'd like to first start out by pointing out that we're not here to decide the issue of whether or not they that the fog judgment was properly or what this case it's concerning what this appeal is concerning is that whether or not the motion to reconsider was properly denied and that motion to reconsider went  that there was no due diligence he had no he exercised no due diligence under fourteen zero one so that the phone could be vacated his other argument was that there was no jury that the court had no jurisdiction to action in the first place and the court denied half because there was no there's no law that supports this argument  exclusively so what this court was confronted with was was a recession action and the recession action is a equitable remedy which peak imperato seeking to rescind its policy its workers compensation policy that was issued to its insured under section one one fifty four of the illinois insurance co what we were dealing here with was the worker's compensation but so only the illinois workers compensation that they require of the insured who is best able to interpret those kinds of things the circuit court would be because why isn't this workman's compensation because this is the illinois worke illinois workers compensation commission under the act itself and there's nowhere within the act that provides that the commission is is the the agency to look at a t he might say i don't have any employees and then during the coverage period you would have taken on a job that required you to have a couple of employees in your premium would be readjusted or assessed at the end of that period yes it would so that's something that typically happens with workman's compensation insurance where it can happen can it can happen yes or  audit the premium will be adjusted for the to account for the heat employees that were that were hired during the during the period well as the failure to report that this is your employee during the policy period is that something that workman's comp commission takes up or is that i mean you're saying it's part of your rescission policy or party rescission action are you there were no default you would have to demonstrate that he what purposely withheld information that he was negligent in not reporting it to you what would you have to show under section one forty one code we don't have to show that there's an intent to write a what do you have to show we just have to show that a misrepresentation was made to the insurance company and bad that misrepresentation was material soon as to how it effects the risk or any misrepresentation would have to be why did he act that he had that employee of the time that he said he had he didn't or that he picked up one late bet he said he didn't he didn't have an employee that he was reporting that moist and him quote in this case what had happened was that he reported that he had no employees but at nationality he did have employees that's where the that's was actually hired at the time i answered the audit showed information which questions were asked during the audit whether or not he had whether or not the insurer had employees indicated that he did but in actuality he can found out that he did have that he had his employer joshua for working for many time so picking sides rescind the policy based on the misrepresentation because back that we've gone through an audit he made the misrepresentation and we sa through two because we had access to risk accordingly that the misrepresentation was made it was material it fell under section one fifty four but again your honour's i think we're getting a little parkfield here from the issue before the court which is whether or not the court has jurisdiction over the rescission action it does it section one fifty four of the insurance co we're not talking about again workers compensation claims is something for the workers an employee but we need not provide coverage because it is misrepresentation to us and workman's compensation so yeah that you're right because they do the ultimate decision as to whether or not there's the policy can be rescinded that's not what i asked i am asked if i'm sorry was there were means compensation  could you say yeah he was an employee but we shouldn't be required to cover it with but right they would say that but the employer would have to pay i assume if he had the good of a worker's right they go after the this matter a law you just can you say factually we should not be required to provide coverage because he misrepresented to us that he had no employees when in fact he did how can we be required to provide coverage maybe somebody say to you well why don't you bring a rescission action that's not what i'm asking and i'm asking whether or not you could proceed no we couldn't because the commission would not have jurisdiction to determine whether or not a policy could be rescinded under section one fifty four again the illinois legislature is stated that the workers compensation commission has jurisdiction so we over workers compensation claims this has been illinois supreme court so for us to say in the commission we don't have a duty to defend them now they would say we don't have jurisdiction to support to to grant you that remedy you have to go to the  there might be overlapping jurisdiction you disagree with that there could be overlapping draw in some instance but some assistance it's not overlapping and what i think he was getting at was in this skilling case and i think best what what he says he's getting at this skillin case they were saying bad the court has the circuit court has jurisdiction over her over a certain action but there may be some portions of it to which the the workers compensation act five explicitly provides that the commission has jurisdiction over so you have two different things and this case is potentially one of those cases say for example that we had that that the defendant had appeared and had not defaulted and had argued this case he could have said your honor before we can determine whether or not i have made a misrepresentation as to whether or not this person employee that should be an argument that she brought in the commission so we just have that song question of fact as to whether that should be brought in the commission because they have jurisdiction over that over that case so because has the expertise to make it open with decision as to who is hand or is not an employee exactly that could be that could be argued that they have that they have the expertise that they should be deciding whether or not there was employee employer ahead and stay the perceiving so the court would stay the proceedings in the next wait for the wait for the commission to make a determination as to whether or not to return an employee employer relationship such that he porson title to benefits under the policy in titles workers compensation benefits and if there are then we could go back to work in bang go back and use a determination to determine whether or not the should be or can be rescinded but unfortunately that didn't happen in this case what happened in this case is they took the op they were properly served they took it off they didn't appear under illinois law all those facts all material as it is to defend a point out or deemed admitted and that material fact was there was misrepresentation on the policy that misrepresentation said i have and i don't have any employees when  did not need to determine that question of back because everything was emitted at that point in this case he circuit court was deciding the reef fish in action as a question of law and a question of commission decide that one question of fact but the illinois supreme court is clear in skilling and also especially in n l industries in which it relied to say that a court is never to dismiss a case when it has the original it's never to dismiss a case it didn't stay on case pending the resolution of of an agency to make a determination that it needs it in its case but it should never give up its original jurisdiction especially when he case and that's exactly what it said i think going and i think some of this is evidence from the cases that he cited hollywood trucking in that case what they had was a count they had a count in the complaint which the circuit court just  d it didn't have jurisdiction to decide in back case they had everything involved in that count was fully within the the search was within the commission's power to decide and therefore it didn't have subject matter jurisdiction same thing with the keating case they the imposed section forty of the act the and they said whether or not in the container in forty contains regulations said ensure employers maintain adequate workers compensation insurance and pay compensation claims to their employees and it expressly gives the at the commission authority to enforce those regulations again the illinois workers compensation it's not provide the workers compensation commission any authority to decide whether or not a policy can be rescinded under section one fifty four of the insurance co and there for the court properly had jurisdiction period diction and it was also proper to deny the motion to reconsider no further questions i will stand thank you thank you very much route most everything you said except one thing i say there is a factual issue he says that the fault here is that i say it doesn't allegations made on  information and belief is not the equivalent of the allegation of relevant fact i say we're in the same status as if we came in and objected to this i wouldn't know that they expected a suspension of proceedings i would have really expected them to defend it under reservation rights that's how you handle the situation ordinarily and they say to the insurer we think we have a policy defense here we're going to let you hire your attorney you go ahead and defend the case  comes out and but they chose in this instance to file the rescission the fault wasn't adequate because of the phrases they used in their complaint proof applying to us were informed of or believe certain facts obviously could not support a finding that they are in fact true that's our disagreement he says that the false good to solve the fact washed and to take it into the skilling issue of the court deciding it because it's only a legal issue i say the ball didn't accomplish that and leaves the factual question out there to which skilling says we go to the industrial workers  is wetly versus frazier twenty one on my second to ninety two
