SHAMROCK CHICAGO CORP., an Illinois Corporation, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. STEVEN M. WROBLEWSKI, DAVID J. WELLS, CHRISTOPHER ENGLAND, DONALD NOWAK, SKYLINE INDUSTRIAL CORP., an Illinois Corporation, and Unknown Investors and Co-conspirators, Defendants, (Skyline Industrial Corp., Defendant-Appellant)., 2019 IL App (1st) 182354

Summary

HOLDINGS: [1]-Nothing in the record refuted the company's claims of misappropriation of business and financial records by the breakaway company, and the production of bank records and Quickbooks files directly related to records the company claimed were stolen by the breakaway company; [2]-Appointing a facilitator helped ensure that the parties would not have to return to court every time the breakaway company made a new production, and the trial court made every effort to balance the company's needs for information with the breakaway company's concerns about privacy and competition; [3]-The contempt order entered against the breakaway company was vacated because it acted in good faith to test the validity of an order.
