Terms Used In Illinois Compiled Statutes 735 ILCS 5/12-104

  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
  • Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.
  • Injunction: An order of the court prohibiting (or compelling) the performance of a specific act to prevent irreparable damage or injury.
     When the party in whose favor a judgment is entered is restrained, by injunction, or by stay on appeal, or by the order of a court, or is delayed, on account of the death of the defendant from enforcement of the judgment, the time he or she is so restrained or delayed shall not be considered as any part of the time mentioned in Section 12-101 or 12-108 of this Act.
