An Illinois county court ruled the city of Chicago is liable for $163 million in vehicle fines that it illegally overcharged residents.
In a February 19 order, Judge William B. Sullivan granted summary judgment in favor of Chicagoans in a class action lawsuit against the city, writing that to find that they had been "systematically overcharged for vehicle parking, standing, and compliance violations, while depriving them of relief, would be a manifestly unjust result."
