Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Real Estate
Court properly dismissed verified complaint with prejudice pursuant to Section 2-615 of Code of Civil Procedure. Section 20-20(a)(34) of Real Estate License Act, which prohibits an attorney from acting as both attorney and broker in same real estate transaction, does not violate special legislation, equal protection, or separation of powers clauses of Illinois Constitution. Reasonable justification for prohibition is to protect general public from representation that carries potential for conflict of interest. Court properly refused to allow Plaintiff to amend his complaint, as he previously stated to court that he only intended to raise facial challenge. (SIMON, concurring; PIERCE, concurring.)
