Many people wonder what are the differences between Municipal and Law Division within the Circuit Court of Cook County, Circuit Court of Dupage County, or Circuit Court of Will County?
Municipal division generally deals with disputes from $1 to $30,000. In contrasts, Law Division generally deals with disputes and litigation matters involving matters of $30,000 and above. Law division usually addresses breach of contract matters where one side is accused of breaking an oral or written contract by not paying as they were supposed to.
Generally, a complaint is filed, which states the amount of damages alleged and this determines whether the case is assigned to municipal or law division. A Defendant must file an answer to the complaint within thirty (30) days or face a Motion for Default Judgment. A Motion for Default Judgment is a Motion if granted gives the Plaintiff the remedy that they are seeking in their complaint or lawsuit.
