Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

Sec. 2-106.

Transfer.

(a) Transfer for wrong venue.  If a motion to
transfer is allowed on the ground that the action was commenced in a
wrong venue, the cause shall be transferred to the court in a  proper
venue, subject to any equitable terms and conditions that may be
prescribed.

(b) Method of transfer.  The clerk of the court from which a
transfer is granted shall immediately certify and transmit to the clerk
of the court to which the transfer is ordered the originals of all
papers filed in the case together with copies of all orders entered
therein.  In the event of a severance, certified copies of papers filed
and orders entered shall be transmitted.  The clerk of the court to
which the transfer is ordered shall file the papers and transcript
transmitted to him or her and docket the case, and the action shall proceed and
be determined as if it had originated in that court.
