(755 ILCS 5/12-15) (from Ch. 110 1/2, par. 12-15)
Sec. 12-15.
Suit on bond.
Suit on a bond executed
under this Act may be prosecuted against one or more of the
obligors named in the bond in the name of the people of the State
of Illinois for the use of any person who may have been
injured by reason of the neglect or improper conduct of the
principal on the bond. Suits may be prosecuted on the bond
from time to time and the bond does not become void on a
recovery thereon until the whole penalty is recovered. It is not necessary to
a recovery that a devastavit shall have previously been established against the
principal.
A
copy of the bond, authenticated by the clerk of the court,
is admissible in evidence to authorize recovery on the bond.
The person for whose use suit on a bond is prosecuted is
liable for all costs which may be taxed by the court in which
suit is brought if the plaintiff fails to recover thereon.
