Terms Used In Illinois Compiled Statutes 735 ILCS 5/5-120
- Affirmed: In the practice of the appellate courts, the decree or order is declared valid and will stand as rendered in the lower court.
- 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.
If any person takes an appeal to review the judgment of any other court, and the judgment is affirmed or the appeal is dismissed, the appellee shall recover costs, which may be collected in the same manner as judgments for the payment of money are enforced; and if the judgment is reversed, the appellant shall recover costs, which may be collected in the same manner as judgments for the payment of money are enforced.
