In Illinois, civil conspiracy requires an agreement between two or more people to achieve an unlawful purpose or a lawful purpose by unlawful means, which is then followed by an overt act in furtherance of that agreement, ultimately resulting in a tort (an independent wrongful act) and injury to the plaintiff. The claim for civil conspiracy itself is not an independent tort; it relies on the success of an underlying tort, and the plaintiff must demonstrate a “meeting of the minds” on the conspiratorial objective and incur damages as a direct result.
