Township of Jubilee v. State of Illinois

Circuit court had jurisdiction to enter summary judgment in favor of Township and against State in action to quiet title, in dispute over parties' property rights as to two parcels of property described as a "public square" in Plat of 1860. Although Township's request to quiet title as to claim of ownership by State should not have been initiated in circuit court, State filed its own complaint to quiet title, thereby affirmatively invoking circuit court's jurisdiction in aid of its claim. (KILBRIDE, FREEMAN, THOMAS, GARMAN, BURKE, and THEIS, concurring.)
