Description
A jury in the circuit court of Cook County returned a verdict in favor of plaintiff Evelyn M. Drewick and fixed her damages
at $105,000 for injuries she sustained when a steel ventilator-window sash fell from a building owned by Interstate Terminals,
Inc., (hereafter called defendant) striking her on the head and shoulders. The trial court entered judgment on the verdict
and denied defendant's post-trial motions. The Appellate Court, First District, reversed that portion of the judgment holding
defendant liable (97 Ill. App.2d 187), and we granted leave to appeal. Defendant, owner of the building from which the window fell, is the wholly owned subsidiary of Interstate Dispatch and it
leased the building to its parent corporation. The president and secretary of the parent and subsidiary corporations are the
same persons and they have their offices in the general office section of the building. The plaintiff is an employee of the
parent corporation.
