Description
In her second amended complaint, the plaintiff, Nancy K. Arnolt, sued the defendants, the City of Highland Park and Ralph
Espinosa, a police officer of the city, in the circuit court of Lake County, for injuries she sustained while riding in a
car which collided with a police vehicle being driven by Espinosa. This complaint contained six counts: Count I was against
both Espinosa and the city, alleged willful and wanton misconduct, and stated that it was based upon the Tort Immunity Act
(Ill. Rev. Stat. 1969, ch. 85, par. 1-101 et seq.). Count II was against Espinosa only, alleged that, while in the performance
of his duties, he was guilty of ordinary negligence and stated that it was based upon the Illinois Municipal Code (Ill. Rev.
Stat. 1969, ch. 24, par. 1-4-6). Count III was against Espinosa only, alleged ordinary negligence, and stated that it was
based upon the common law. Count IV was against both Espinosa and the city, alleged willful and wanton misconduct and sought
a declaratory judgment that section 2-202 of the Tort Immunity Act, which provides that a public employee is not liable except
for willful and wanton negligence when in the execution or enforcement of any law, was unconstitutional. Count V was against
Espinosa only, alleged willful and wanton misconduct, and stated that it was based upon the Illinois Municipal Code (Ill.
Rev. Stat. 1969, ch. 24, par. 1-4-6). Count VI was against Espinosa only, alleged willful and wanton misconduct and was based
upon the common law.
