Full Text of 735 ILCS 5/19-110
Plain-English Summary
Section 19-110 is a practical accommodation for property that does not sit conveniently in one county. Because the officer who executes a replevin order can generally only seize property within the county tied to that copy of the order, the clerk of court may issue additional certified copies at the plaintiff's request.
Those extra certified copies let the plaintiff pursue seizure in each county where part of the property is located, without having to file separate lawsuits. This dovetails with Section 19-103, which already allows venue in any county where the goods, or part of them, sit.
The mechanism is administrative: the clerk issues the copies on request, and each copy functions as its own order for service in its respective county.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why would a replevin plaintiff need more than one certified copy of the order?
Because property subject to the action may be located in more than one county, and an officer generally can only seize property within the county tied to the copy of the order used there.
Who issues additional certified copies of a replevin order?
The clerk of the court, upon the plaintiff's request.
Does the plaintiff need to file a new lawsuit for each county?
No. Section 19-110 lets the plaintiff use additional certified copies of the same order across several counties instead of filing separately in each.
How does this section relate to replevin venue?
It works alongside Section 19-103, which permits venue in any county where the goods or part of them are located, by giving the plaintiff a way to execute the order in each such county.
Is there a limit on how many certified copies can be issued?
The section does not set a numeric limit; it authorizes the clerk to issue additional copies as needed for use in several counties.
