City of Chicago
For the Payment of Tort and Non-Tort Judgments, Outside Counsel Expenses and Expert Costs, as Approved by the Corporation Counsel
Exact amount: $40,785,387.00
Calendar year 2026
Payments are authorized payment requests from the Law Department to the Comptroller from 2026-01-02 to 2026-07-31, unaudited, and may change after reconciliation. The report names no fund or account, so a payment is placed here by its department only. All payments for departments other than Police, Fire, Water Management and Aviation are placed here (Transportation is most of it). 5 small Aviation and 'Department of Water' payments are left out because their lines are in other funds.
