Terms Used In Illinois Compiled Statutes 430 ILCS 35/14

  • Injunction: An order of the court prohibiting (or compelling) the performance of a specific act to prevent irreparable damage or injury.
  • Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
  • Temporary restraining order: Prohibits a person from an action that is likely to cause irreparable harm. This differs from an injunction in that it may be granted immediately, without notice to the opposing party, and without a hearing. It is intended to last only until a hearing can be held.
     In addition to the remedies otherwise provided by this Act the Director is authorized to apply to the circuit court for, and such court shall have jurisdiction upon hearing and for cause shown to grant, a temporary restraining order or a preliminary or permanent injunction restraining any person from violating any provision of this Act.
