Inadvertence means carelessness, negligence and inattention but does not include ignorance of the law;
Inadvertence means excusable ignorance, not excusable failure to act after the true facts are discovered. Viirre v. Zayre Stores, Inc., 212 Ill. App. 3d 505, 517 (1991). "Ignorance," as contemplated by section 2--616(d)(2), encompasses lack of knowledge of the identity or the existence of the defendant (Plooy, 275 Ill. App. 3d at 1084), and a plaintiff must act with reasonable diligence to add the proper parties after their identities become known. Viirre, 212 Ill. App. 3d at 517.
