Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Real Estate Contract
Homeowners in same subdivision filed suit alleging that majority of lot behind house cannot be used to build structures due to utility easement, claiming fraud and misrepresentation. Question of fact exists as to negligent misrepresentations against brokers, and as to fraud. Promissory estoppel is unavailable as parties have acknowledged existence of contracts to purchase real estate. (DONOVAN and GOLDENHERSH, concurring.)
