Significant United States and Illinois Supreme Court Cases: Schlunk v. Volkswagenwerk Aktiengesellschaft, 486 U.S. 694 (1988) Jack Samuel Ring obtained a 9-0 Decision in the U.S. Supreme Court - Decided March 21, 1988. This decision established the principal that Americans who are injured on U.S. soil by products designed and/or manufactured overseas may now be able to serve notice of suit on those foreign designers and manufacturers through their subsidiaries in the United States and thus avoid the Hague Service Convention and the cost and time involved in service of process in a foreign country. As indicated in ATLA's "Trial", January, 1999, Schlunk is still considered a recent case. Wirth v. Industrial Commission, 57 Ill.2d 475 (1976) Jack Samuel Ring appeared before the Illinois Supreme Court and established that recurrent emotional stress and strain in the workplace can lead to a compensable injury, and that such an injury need not be based merely on physical work. Soto v.E.W. Bliss Division of Gulf & Western, 452 N.E. 2d 572 (1st Dist.1983) (cert.den.) Affirmed by Illinois Supreme Court. This case reviewed and addressed the entire field of products liability cases.
