Description
The circuit court of Madison County entered summary judgment in favor of plaintiffs, Ronald Hoover and Sheila Ruth, individually and as representatives of a class, against the defendant, May Department Stores Company, for violations of the Illinois Retail Installment Sales Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 121 1/2, par. 501 et seq.), and the Missouri Retail Credit Sales Law (Mo. Rev. Stat. 1969, sec. 408.250 et seq.). The plaintiffs represent a class of credit purchasers from the defendant-owned Famous — Barr Stores. The defendant was enjoined from further violations of the acts and ordered to give notice to the members of the class, to pay back excess finance charges, to set aside a fund of $9 million, and to make an accounting to the court of finance charges collected from members of the plaintiff class. The court found no just reason to delay the appeal as to certain issues (58 Ill.2d R. 304(a)), and since it was felt portions of the order were interlocutory, the court made findings pursuant to our Rule 308 (58 Ill.2d R. 308) that substantially all of the content of its order involved questions of law as to which there is substantial ground for difference of opinion and that an immediate appeal may materially advance the ultimate termination of the litigation. The appellate court allowed defendant's motion for an interlocutory appeal and affirmed the judgment of the circuit court, with one justice dissenting. (62 Ill. App.3d 106.) We granted the defendant's petition for leave to appeal. The complaint, as finally settled in the trial court, contained four counts against the defendant charging violations of the Illinois Retail Installment Sales Act, the Missouri Retail Credit Sales Law, the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 121 1/2, par. 261 et seq.), and the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act (Mo. Rev. Stat. 1969, sec. 407.010 et seq.). It is clear from the order of the trial court that its decision was not based on the consumer fraud statutes of the two States, but was based solely on the Illinois Retail Installment Sales Act and the Missouri Retail Credit Sales Law. We therefore judge the correctness of the order entered by the standards of the two acts involved, and we do not consider the order in light of the two consumer fraud statutes.
