Plaintiffs and Class Representatives, Nancy Woods, Elizabeth Turner, Mark Triezenberg, Mary E. Rawson, Patricia Clark, Richard Terrell Gore, and Mary Rodriguez (“Plaintiffs”), allege that, contrary to its representations not to do so, Sears, Roebuck & Co.

Plaintiffs allege a number of causes of action resulting from the alleged conduct of Sears, including violation of the Illinois Consumer Fraud Act, Unjust Enrichment, and Invasion of Privacy. Sears denies Plaintiffs’ claims. This notice does not cover all of the parties’ contentions or the results of certain motions and various petitions for leave to appeal. Sears denies that it did anything wrong and the Court has yet to decide whether Sears is liable for damages.
