Plaintiff filed lawsuit after discovering that defendant allegedly had engaged in a fraudulent accounting scheme designed to reduce plaintiff’s compensation by expensing monies, which defendant received from Centegra Health Systems, directly to her. Plaintiff also learned that defendant was not a licensed profes- sional corporation, even though she had given plain- tiff prior assurances that she was properly registered. According to plaintiff, to induce her to join its medi- cal practice, defendant expressly represented in writ- ing that the “Corporation [was] registered to practice medicine in the State of Illinois.”

Can the defendant’s failure to comply with the Act’s certificate of registration requirement render the employment agreement void?
