Evidence
The bankruptcy court’s refusal to order depositions of the debtor’s former husband’s siblings regarding a post-divorce gift to the debtor’s husband, pursuant to 750 ILCS 5/503(d), was harmless error because the debtor could have obtained equivalent information through other discover means. Mungo v. Taylor
Where petitioner testified that she made no promises in exchange for the purchase of residence, since the credibility of witnesses and the weight to be given their testimony was a question of fact for the trial court or jury, it was within the province of the trial court to accept the petitioner’s version of the events and conclude that no promises were made to the respondent in exchange for the parties’ decision to purchase the home in joint tenancy, and the presumption that a gift was intended was not overcome by clear, convincing and unmistakable evidence.
