The court dismissed the claim: MW failed to prove under Illinois law that the misnomer principle applied or that a forum court could lawfully correct or enforce a foreign (Illinois) judgment against Industrial without amendment in the rendering court; further Industrial did not submit to Illinois jurisdiction because documents bearing Industrial's name were clerical errors and there was no authorized appearance, so the US judgment is not enforceable against Industrial.
