Proposed statewide class action in Southern District court challenges constitutionality of tax deed foreclosures
Illinois counties violate the U.S. Constitution when they hold and sell liens on properties with overdue taxes, former homeowners and a business in East St. Louis alleged at district court on April 10.
Plaintiffs' attorneys Patrick Hughes Daniel Suhr of Chicago proposed a statewide class action, claiming the Supreme Court found a similar Minnesota law unconstitutional last year in Tyler v. Hennepin County.
Hughes and Suhr said Illinois counties continue to deprive property owners of their rightful assets despite the Supreme Court's ruling.
