(735 ILCS 5/4-121) (from Ch. 110, par. 4-121)
Sec. 4-121.
Neglect of officer to take bond.
If the sheriff fails to return
a bond taken by virtue
of the provisions of Part 1 of Article IV of this Act, or has neglected to take one when
he or she ought to have done so, in any attachment entered under any of the provisions
of Part 1 of Article IV of this Act, the plaintiff in the attachment
may cause a rule to be
entered at any time during the first 10 days after the day on which the
order is returnable requiring the sheriff to return the bond;
or in case no bond has been taken, to show cause why such bond was not
taken. If the sheriff does not return the bond within one day
thereafter, or show legal and sufficient cause why the bond has not
been taken, judgment shall be entered against the sheriff for the amount of
the plaintiff's claim, with costs of the action. Enforcement may thereupon
be had after judgment is entered against
the defendant in the attachment action.
