Description

This is an appeal by the United States Steel Corporation and six of its employees (hereinafter respondents) from an order
of the circuit court of Cook County entered on March 19, 1971. The order upheld the validity of six subpoenas duces tecum
which had been issued by the Appeal Board of the Department of Environmental Control of the City of Chicago (hereinafter Appeal
Board) during an administrative proceeding. The order was entered upon a petition filed by the Appeal Board, after the motion
of the respondents to dismiss the petition had been overruled. The subpoenas commanded the six employees to appear to testify
before the Appeal Board and to bring with them certain documents, and the trial court entered an order which found that the
Appeal Board had the power to issue them and that they were valid. The respondents have appealed directly to this court. They contend: (1) that the subpoenas are vague, overbroad, unreasonable,
and call for the production of irrelevant, confidential information — all in violation of their rights guaranteed by the fourth
and fourteenth amendments to the Federal constitution and by section 6 of article II of the constitution of Illinois; (2)
that the Appeal Board lacks statutory authority to issue the subpoenas and to seek their enforcement in the circuit court;
and (3) that the subpoenas violate section 17-2.55(d) of the Chicago ordinance in that they call for the production of material
not "reasonably related to" the matter pending before the Appeal Board. We find that it is not necessary to consider the first
and third contentions, since we have concluded that the second must be sustained.
