Rich,
You are treading on thin ice:
To establish a right to recover for the tort of Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress in Illinois, four elements must be proved:
(1) Extreme and outrageous conduct on the part of the defendant;
(2) Intent by the defendant to cause, or reckless disregard of the probability of causing emotional distress;
(3) Severe or extreme emotional distress suffered by the plaintiff, and
(4) An actual and proximate causation of emotional distress by the defendant’s outrageous conduct.
To say that this is emotionally distressing would be an understatement!
