Description
Daisy Drehle, administrator of the estate of Carl W. Drehle, brought this wrongful death action in the circuit court of Will
            County against Frances Fleming, administrator of the estate of Michael Fleming. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant,
            judgment was entered on the  verdict, and the plaintiff's amended post-trial motion was denied. The appellate court reversed
            and remanded for a new trial (129 Ill. App.2d 166), and we granted leave to appeal. The new trial was granted by the appellate court on the ground that newly discovered evidence, which would have had a strong
            likelihood of changing the result of the case, had not come to the attention of the attorney for the plaintiff until after
            the trial was concluded because of the defendant's failure to comply with discovery procedures. The issue in this court is
            the correctness of that ruling, and a brief statement of the situation as it existed in the trial court is necessary to an
            understanding of that issue.
