Ill. Pattern Jury Instr. (Criminal) 13.41
Definition Of Value--Commercial Or Written Instrument
The word “value” of property consisting of any commercial instrument or any written
instrument representing or embodying rights concerning anything of value, labor, or services or
otherwise of value to the owner means
[1] the “market value” of such instrument if such instrument is negotiable and has a
market value; and
[2] the “actual value” of such instrument if such instrument is not negotiable or is
otherwise without a market value. [For the purpose of establishing such “actual value,” the
interest of any owner or owners entitled to part or all of the property represented by such
instrument, by reason of such instrument, may be shown, even if another “owner” may be named
in the complaint, information, or indictment.]
