Terms Used In Illinois Compiled Statutes 735 ILCS 5/16-107

  • Answer: The formal written statement by a defendant responding to a civil complaint and setting forth the grounds for defense.
  • Bail: Security given for the release of a criminal defendant or witness from legal custody (usually in the form of money) to secure his/her appearance on the day and time appointed.
  • Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.
  • State: when applied to different parts of the United States, may be construed to include the District of Columbia and the several territories, and the words "United States" may be construed to include the said district and territories. See Illinois Compiled Statutes 5 ILCS 70/1.14
     The order for ne exeat shall require the defendant to file his or her answer or otherwise plead within a time designated in the order, and, upon a certified copy of the order being served upon the defendant he or she shall give bond, with surety in the sum specified in such order, conditioned that he or she will not depart the State without leave of the court, and that he or she will render himself or herself to answer any judgment which the court may enter against him or her; and in default of giving such security, he or she may be committed to a penal institution other than the penitentiary, as in other cases, for the want of bail. No temporary departure from the State shall be considered as a breach of the condition of the bond, if he or she returns before personal appearance is necessary to answer or comply with any judgment or order of the court.
