Potek v. City of Chicago is an Illinois appellate court opinion filed February 18, 2026. Beyond the case caption and filing date, no substantive opinion text was available for analysis. The identity of the appellant and appellee, the procedural posture of the case, and the specific facts giving rise to the dispute cannot be confirmed from the materials provided.

Because the opinion body was not supplied, the legal issues presented on appeal, the court's holdings, and the reasoning underlying any disposition cannot be determined. Based solely on the case name, which identifies the City of Chicago as a party, the matter appears to involve a civil dispute with a municipal defendant — suggesting potential relevance to tort law or constitutional law — but no such classification can be confirmed without the opinion text.

Attorneys should not rely on this summary for any legal or strategic purpose. The full opinion text should be obtained directly from the Illinois appellate court or an authoritative legal research platform before drawing any conclusions about the case's holdings, reasoning, or precedential significance.
