(735 ILCS 5/4-108) (from Ch. 110, par. 4-108)
Sec. 4-108.
Fixing of bond.
The court, upon ex parte motion, without
notice, supported by affidavit of the plaintiff, his or her agent or attorney,
substantially describing the property to be attached, and the value
thereof, may, if satisfied of the bona fides of the application and
sufficiency of the bond under the circumstances of the case, including
proposed garnishments, fix the amount of the bond in double the value of
the property to be attached, instead of double the sum sworn to be due,
and in such event the order shall direct the officer to attach such
specifically described property, but the value of such property to be
attached shall not be in excess of an amount sufficient to satisfy the
debt claimed and costs. The court may require that such affidavit be
supplemented by additional showing, by appraisal or otherwise, as to the
value of such property, and may, upon motion of any party to the action
claiming an interest in such property, either before or after actual
attachment, require additional security, or order release of the
attachment to the extent not covered by adequate double security.
