Villages, park districts, school districts and suburban police departments are local public entities. Most claims against them must be filed within one year under the Illinois Tort Immunity Act, and the Act also gives them defenses private parties do not have. Cam has argued and won an appeal reinstating negligence claims that had been wrongly dismissed under that Act.
