Court of Claims of Illinois

Decided March 11, 1931

Court of Claims of Illinois · decided 1931-03-11

Decided 1931-03-11

Mr. Chief Justice Clarity

¶1delivered the opinion of the court.

¶2This is a claim brought to recover for certain franchise taxes alleged to be improperly levied and collected by the Secretary of State. It appears that the claim arose from taxes paid in 1922 and that this claim was filed on June 29th, 1928.

¶3The Attorney General in behalf of the State of Illinois files a demurrer on the theory that more than five years elapsed.

¶4There can be no question as to this point as Section 10 of an Act to Create the Court of Claims sets forth specifically that all claims must be filed within five years. Therefore the demurrer is sustained and claim dismissed.
