““If coexistent remedies are consistent with each other, a party may adopt all or select any one which he thinks best suited to the end sought, and only the satisfaction of the claim in one case constitutes a bar of the other. [Citations.] # # # For one proceeding to be a bar to another, the remedies must proceed from opposite and irreconcilable claims of right and must be so inconsistent that a party could not logically assume to follow one without renouncing the other. [Citation.]” Fleming v. Dillon, 370 Ill. 325, 331-32 , 18 N.E.2d 910, 913 .”
