In Rutledge v. State (1991), 44 Ill. Ct. Cl. 257, 259, hot oil emitted from a State chimney landed on Claimant's vehicle causing damage. Claimant Starks asserted that the State used a malfunctioning furnace because of incomplete burning of the oil. The Court denied the claim because of lack of evidence presented by Claimant that the State breached a duty, or to support an inference for application of the res ipsa loquitur. Rutledge, at p. 259.
