An Illinois Presentment Order is a court order issued by the Circuit Court of Illinois which requires a defendant to appear in court and answer a civil complaint. This type of order is typically issued in situations where the defendant has failed to appear or respond to the complaint. The court order typically requires the defendant to appear in court for an initial hearing to determine whether the complaint is valid and to decide what action should be taken. There are three types of Illinois Presentment Orders: a summons, a writ of summons, and a summons and complaint. A summons is a notice to the defendant that a complaint has been filed in court. A writ of summons is a court order that requires the defendant to appear in court to answer the complaint. A summons and complaint is a combination of the two, which includes both the notice and the court order.
