Terms Used In Illinois Compiled Statutes 815 ILCS 710/28

  • 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.
  • Injunction: An order of the court prohibiting (or compelling) the performance of a specific act to prevent irreparable damage or injury.
  • 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
  • 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.
     Whenever it shall appear to the Secretary of State that a person is engaged or about to engage in acts or practices that constitute or will constitute a violation of the provisions of this Act, or of any rule or regulation prescribed under authority of this Act, the Secretary of State may in his or her discretion, through the Attorney General, apply for an injunction without notice, and upon a proper showing, the circuit court shall have power to enter a permanent or preliminary injunction, or a temporary restraining order without bond, to enforce the provisions of this Act, in addition to the other remedies provided in this Act. Either party may appeal as in other civil cases.
