happens i understand it is on the december fourteenth date my client's called into an office and told that there are budget restrictions or jobs going to be eliminated she will be allowed to work until april first two thousand and eight if she does that in my mind that that means a terminations occurred on april first two thousand and eight but i hesitate at the date difference doesn't appear to affect the ultimate issue in this case and of course you're aware of that issue and that is that  filed her birth by components of temper twenty second two thousand and nine so that if the one year statute limitations were applied she would file after that particular statute of limitations now i also will that belabor the two cases that were argued at the trial court there is one case that i understand it's ever held that a retaliatory discharge case against a public entity has the one year statute limitation under the toward immunity act and that's how  county of cook one thousand nine hundred four case from the first district and it is on point the issue was a statute of limitations that held the one year statute limitations of why and there's been no other garrette ruling in my mind since that time had filed within one year the issue the question of whether the immunity provisions of the tort community act applied to retaliatory discharge cases of the illinois supreme court he after the parties filed their initial brief the court undoubtedly more student and counsel in this case probably got to the crux of the issue ordered us to file supplemental police presently dealing with whether the application order asked the parties to brief the a fact essentially three to four different cases i understand that including the most recent case harvest church of our lord and the statute of limitations only applies to cases within the  understand the question that is in that that point but that's what they have the smith case that when a public employee files a retaliatory discharge case against the public entity if there is no immunity under contains some specific sections where there's nudity and then it contains some specific sections where the immunity act is not apply but then there's a middle ground where there is no immunity stash limitations where is that of all other civil actions it's not a personal interactions or not two years it's all other civil action which is five years i don't have a cite funny because i left my primary brief at the other desk but i can give it to you in a moment so i think it's a five year statue of limitations if it wasn't to your staff limitations of course that's its most because we found in two years anyway if this were a extraordinary reluctance to broaden their tour first the tories created but then the court says this is very narrow retaliatory just you we've you know this is this is got to be very narrow why doesn't that apply to you yeah you can bring it against a city or a municipality but we're still going to keep the narrow focus on the statute of limitations citizens well judge one has to remember that the legislature made the determination to give governmental bodies immunity have certain circumstances but at the same time they limited  plain language of section one dash one of two states if any provision or part yeah correct location to any person or circumstances held invalid such an employee shall not affect the provision or applications of the act which telsey our supreme court created this common mark toward the language of the worker's comp compensation act does not provide for private possible action so you disagree with snit we do your honor in the sense that employee's action and in that case the supreme court said well you can't invoke immunity because it was the employer who was acting in not employ whereas in our case if we look at the planes from plane we see that the plane of planes position was eliminated as a result budget now these budget cuts were the result of department reorganization that were the result of legislative decisions so i would submit to the legislative entity is immune for failing passing the act or not or passing a particular act and in some it while the appellate court they cite to carter versus peoria which is very similar to the facts that the result of the supreme court's decision healthy it was created out of common law and it has been expanded well lots of statutes are based on the law that that that is correct  doesn't have the authority use of that powers reserved solely for the state legislature to do so and subsequent to the creation of retaliatory discharge of the workers  compensation act has been amended several times and never has the legislature created a private cause of action for retaliatory discharge so we would submit that this is contingent or dependent on whether a substantive immunity applied and that is law created by the support in addition to the first district in harry versus powers also recognizes principle in that case they will that one year limitation provision appl smith therefore the procedural one year this were the one year statute was applied to the specifically numer worker's compensation claim for retaliatory discharge are two different and items on the one hand we have administrative workers compensation is four out of ledges out of the statute created by the legislature it does not allow for damages it does passing a law so the facts are extremely different from the facts stated in smith and smith decision the courts decision in smith was limited to those particular immunities in this case we're not asserting those communities and for that reason the court said well you can't invoke that immunity and there were two hearings in particular one was this question you should discretionary and the other was the british a sort of speak community where they were saying we were immune because our employee statutes and if a particular statute was wrong fully title it wouldn't override the ability of a court system to interpret his articles eight in light of their really don't have anything to do the normal life no problems with smith case it's seems to be it's clearly tell you this retaliatory distraction based upon a section of the worker occasion they seem to be different they are different your honor well i don't think one has to combine the two sections or the two fronts to answer what is it issue in this case  legislators didn't have the benefit of knowing what particular actions were going to arise on the workers compensation act at that point so they were acting in good faith but without full knowledge
