HB 3632

Abstract

Amends the Administrative Review Law of the Code of Civil Procedure. Provides that if (i) a plaintiff substantially prevails in the Circuit Court, (ii) a defendant appeals the final decision, order, or judgment of the Circuit Court as it relates to that plaintiff, and (iii) that plaintiff substantially prevails on appeal, then the Appellate Court must remand the case to the Circuit Court for a determination of the costs, expenses, and fees (including without limitation reasonable attorney's fees) incurred by that plaintiff in defending the appeal. The Circuit Court must then order that defendant to pay to that plaintiff those costs, expenses, and fees.
