MacNeal Mem’l Hosp. Ass’n., 12 N.E.3d 782, 382 Ill. Dec. 503, 2014 IL App (1st) 123206 (App. Dist. 2014) (the trial court’s secondary findings under the Act are reviewed for abuse of discretion); Foutch v. O’Bryant, 99 Ill. 2d 389, 391-92 (1984) (in the absence of a sufficiently complete record to support a claim of error, we presume that the trial court’s order conformed with the law and had a sufficient factual basis).
