Abstract
The ability of Illinois municipalities to enforce municipal ordinances is now clearer after the Illinois Supreme Court’s decision in City of Rock Falls v. Aims Industrial Services, LLC. This case answers the question as to whether a trial court has discretion to balance the equities in deciding whether or not to grant a municipality’s request for injunctive relief when expressly authorized by an ordinance. This Case Note summarizes the procedural history of City of Rock Falls v. Aims Industrial Services, LLC, discusses the competing cases representing a circuit split prior to the resolution of this case, analyzes the decision by the Illinois Supreme Court, and finally highlights the impact of this case and its remaining issues. City of Rock Falls v. Aims Industrial Services, LLC helps to ensure that municipalities are able to carry out their essential function of ordinance enforcement.
