Ill. S. Ct. R. 288
Installment Payment of Judgments
The court may order that the amount of a small claim judgment shall be paid to the prevailing
party on a certain date or in specified installments, and may stay the enforcement of the judgment
and other supplementary process during compliance with such order. The stay may be modified or
vacated by the court, but the installment payments of small claims judgments shall not extend over
a period in excess of three years’ duration.
History
Amended effective January 21, 1969; amended May 28, 1982, effective July 1, 1982. Committee Comments (Revised October 1969) As adopted effective January 1, 1967, this rule was paragraph H of former Rule 9-1, effective January 1, 1964, without change. The provision in the last sentence that installment payments shall not extend over a period of more than three years was added by amendment January 21, 1969, in view of the provision in the Supreme Court recordkeeping order that small claims files are to be destroyed three years after the date of judgment, unless otherwise ordered by the trial court.
