Illinois Order Waiving Presence is a court order that permits a party appearing in an Illinois court case to not be physically present at a hearing, trial, or other court proceedings. This order is typically used when a party is unable to be present due to illness, work obligations, or other extenuating circumstances. There are two types of Illinois Order Waiving Presence: Appearance Waiver and Testimony Waiver. An Appearance Waiver allows a party to waive their right to physically appear in court for a hearing, trial, or other proceedings. A Testimony Waiver allows a party to participate in the proceedings without being physically present, by either submitting written testimony or participating via video or teleconference.
