Description
Plaintiffs, James W. Johnston, individually and as a representative of all those similarly situated, and William Fike, appealed from the judgment of the circuit court of McLean County entered upon allowance of the motion to dismiss filed by defendants, the city of Bloomington, a municipal corporation, and Paul W. Krueger, its treasurer. The appellate court reversed and remanded (61 Ill. App.3d 209), and we allowed defendants' petition for leave to appeal. In counts I and III of the complaint plaintiffs Johnston and Fike, respectively, alleged that, in one instance, he pleaded guilty, and in the other was found guilty, of a violation of chapter 32, section 29, of the Bloomington Municipal Code, hereafter referred to as the speeding ordinance, and paid fines. Count II purports to be a class action brought on behalf of all persons who had paid fines for prosecutions under the ordinance. It is alleged in each count that on January 6, 1976, the circuit court of McLean County, in a separate action, declared the ordinance unconstitutional, and plaintiffs seek to recover the fines paid.
