Garimella v. Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois

In Garimella v. Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, 50 Ill. Ct. Cl. 350 (1996), an action against the University of Illinois medical school seeking relief based on a student's dismissal, the Court of Claims declined to enter an injunction stating its belief that the legislature never intended it to do so as to State agencies. Garimella, 50 Ill. Ct. Cl. at 353. The opinion continued: "Our decisions declining to exercise broad equitable powers have not evoked a legislative response to the contrary. In the absence of specific statutory provisions empowering us to issue injunctions we decline to do so." Garimella, 50 Ill. Ct. Cl. at 353.
