Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

740 ILCS 160/9

    (740 ILCS 160/9) (from Ch. 59, par. 109)
    Sec. 9. (a) A transfer or obligation is not voidable under paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of Section 5 against a person who took in good faith and for a reasonably equivalent value or against any subsequent transferee or obligee.
    (b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, to the extent a transfer is voidable in an action by a creditor under paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of Section 8, the creditor may recover judgement for the value of the asset transferred, as adjusted under subsection (c), or the amount necessary to satisfy the creditor's claim, whichever is less. The judgment may be entered against:
    (1) the first transferee of the asset or the person for whose benefit the transfer was made; or
    (2) any subsequent transferee other than a good-faith transferee who took for value or from any subsequent transferee.
    (c) If the judgment under subsection (b) is based upon the value of the asset transferred, the judgment must be for an amount equal to the value of the asset at the time of the transfer, subject to adjustment as the equities may require.
    (d) Notwithstanding voidability of a transfer or an obligation under this Act, a good-faith transferee or obligee is entitled, to the extent of the value given the debtor for the transfer or obligation, to
    (1) a lien on or a right to retain any interest in the asset transferred;
    (2) enforcement of any obligation incurred; or
    (3) a reduction in the amount of the liability on the judgment.
    (e) A transfer is not voidable under paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of Section 5 or Section 6 if the transfer results from:
    (1) termination of a lease upon default by the debtor when the termination is pursuant to the lease and applicable law; or
    (2) enforcement of a security interest in compliance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
    (f) A transfer is not voidable under subsection (b) of Section 6:
    (1) to the extent the insider gave new value to or for the benefit of the debtor after the transfer was made unless the new value was secured by a valid lien;
    (2) if made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the debtor and the insider; or
    (3) if made pursuant to a good-faith effort to rehabilitate the debtor and the transfer secured present value given for that purpose as well as an antecedent debt of the debtor.
