Terms Used In Illinois Compiled Statutes 75 ILCS 45/1

  • 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.
     When, prior to the effective date of this Act, any petition for conversion of a village public library to a library district was heard and approved in a judicial proceeding in a Circuit Court, and no appeal therefrom was taken, and where due notice of intent to proceed to conversion was duly published in a newspaper circulated in such village, and when a copy of such notice was served upon the President of the Village affected, and where neither a township library nor a township library tax levy was involved, and where such newspaper with such notice was duly circulated in each township in which any such village lies wholly or partially, the conversion of any such village public library and library Board to a library district and district library Board is declared to be legal and binding, and the conversion and any library district tax levy or other action is validated and in full force and effect, and the district library Board duly formed and constituted, notwithstanding the lack of service of a copy of the notice upon a township supervisor.
