Terms Used In Illinois Compiled Statutes 35 ILCS 200/27-70
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- Special Service Area: means a contiguous area within a municipality or county in which special governmental services are provided in addition to those services provided generally throughout the municipality or county, the cost of the special services to be paid from revenues collected from taxes levied or imposed upon property within that area. See Illinois Compiled Statutes 35 ILCS 200/27-5
Any disconnected territory shall cease to be subject to any taxes levied under this Article and shall not be security for any future bonded indebtedness. When the amount of any special service area levied taxes is cancelled due to disconnection of territory, the court may, in the same disconnection proceeding, distribute this cancellation upon the other property in the area assessed, in such manner as the court finds just and equitable, not exceeding, however, the amount by which the property will benefit from the special service.
