(735 ILCS 5/2-414) (from Ch. 110, par. 2-414)
Sec. 2-414.
Joint or consolidated affidavits - validation of judgments.
(a) If in any action or proceeding the
affidavits required by Section 2-206 and Section 2-413 of this Act are joined
and submitted as a single affidavit, or as two affidavits on one sheet,
the fact of joinder or of consolidation of the two affidavits into one
shall not deprive the court of the jurisdiction it would have had if the
affidavits had been filed as two distinct affidavits; however, the facts
with reference to the nonresident defendants required by Section 2-206 of
this Act, and the facts relative to the unknown parties required by
Section 2-413 of this Act, are otherwise correctly set forth and properly
related in the one affidavit.
(b) Any judgment heretofore entered by the court based upon joint
affidavits or a consolidated affidavit which is regular in other
respects is validated as though the affidavits were separate and
distinct.
