Illinois Supreme Court Takes Appeal in Food Truck Case


The Illinois Supreme Court granted an appeal in a case challenging the City of Chicago's food truck ordinance.  We wrote about the appellate court ruling here and the trial court ruling here.  Both courts ruled in favor of the City of Chicago, rejecting the plaintiffs' claim that the ordinance violated the food truck operators' equal protection rights because it treated food trucks differently than restaurants. It also rejected their argument that the 200 foot distance requirement from brick and mortar restaurants violated the food truck operators' due process rights, finding no protected property right to operate a food truck.  We will update you once the Illinois Supreme Court issues its ruling in this appeal.
