CHICAGO – Two plaintiffs who accused a hardware store chain of violating the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act (ICFA) have appealed a trial court’s dismissal of their claims. Michael Fuchs and Vladislav Krasilnikov, who brought the suit against Menard Inc. individually and as a potential class action submitted their notice on Oct. 30 that they would appeal the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. The decision they’re appealing was filed on Sept. 29 by Judge Edmond E. Chang of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. At that time, the court dismissed the complaint with prejudice, as the plaintiffs had already amended their complaint once and had not asked to do so again.
