Description
PRESIDING JUSTICE MURRAY delivered the opinion of the court: Plaintiffs, Betty L. Hall, Individually, and as Mother and Next Friend of Amber L. Hall, a Minor, and Alfred E. Hall, Jr.,
Individually, and Betty L. Hall, as Special Administrator of the Estate of Alfred E. Hall, Sr., Deceased, (herein referred
to collectively as the Halls), filed a wrongful death and survival action in the circuit court of Cook County against CBI
Industries, Inc.; CBI Na-Con, Inc.; Chicago Bridge & Iron Co.; CBI Services, Inc.; CBI Research Corp., (the CBI corporations),
Stanley Consultants, Inc.; Stanley Consultants Company; and Stanley Consultants Associates, Inc. (the Stanley corporations).
Defendants (collectively referred to as the Corporations) moved for a change of venue to Winnebago County, where the incident
which caused the death of plaintiffs' decedent occurred. The Corporations invoked the doctrine of forum non conveniens in
their motions. The trial court denied the motion in an order dated January 19, 1993, and the Corporations filed a timely petition
for leave to appeal the order pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 306(a)(1)(ii). (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1991, ch. 110A, par. 306(a)(1)(ii).)
This court granted the petition for leave to appeal over plaintiffs' objection.
