Illinois’s own consumer protection law
Class actions are almost always federal or multi-state, so living in Illinois rarely decides whether you can claim from a settlement. Where it can matter is when the claim rests on Illinois’s own statute.
Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act (815 ILCS 505/2). It bans unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive acts, expressly including “the concealment, suppression or omission of any material fact, with intent that others rely upon the concealment.” Illinois is one of the states where unfairness is actionable on its own, without the claimant having to show the business said anything untrue.
A private damages action is barred unless commenced within three years after the cause of action accrued (815 ILCS 505/10a(e)).
