Illinois Limited Consent To Exercise of Jurisdiction is a form of long-arm jurisdiction that allows a court in Illinois to exercise jurisdiction over a non-resident defendant who is being sued in the state. This form of jurisdiction is commonly used when a company or individual who is located outside of Illinois is sued in the state for alleged civil wrongs or other legal matters. There are two types of Illinois Limited Consent To Exercise of Jurisdiction: personal jurisdiction and subject-matter jurisdiction. Personal jurisdiction gives the court the ability to issue orders and judgments affecting the parties involved in the lawsuit, while subject-matter jurisdiction allows the court to hear the case and decide the merits of the case. Both types of jurisdiction allow an Illinois court to exercise jurisdiction when a defendant agrees to the terms of the form.
