| Court: | IL Court of Appeals |
| Facts: | Carol Simmons got raped while visiting her relatives at a housing authority complex. She alleges CHA was negligent in hiring and managing its security guards. |
| Posture: | Awarded $200K at trial. Appeal. (this is maybe an appeal from that appeal?) |
| Issue: | Are the damages proper? |
| Holding: | Nope. Reversed. |
| Rule: | Privity. Plus the guards were there to protect the property, not the people. |
| Reasoning: | No showing that the guards were there to protect people, and no law showing that the CHA had the duty to protect this person. |
