Illinois Statutes Chapter 215. Insurance § 5/407. Court review of orders and decisions

§ 407. Court review of orders and decisions. Except as to those orders or decisions of the Director to make good an impairment of capital or surplus or a deficiency in the amount of admitted assets, the provisions of the Administrative Review Law,  1 and all amendments and modifications thereof, and the rules adopted pursuant thereto, shall apply to and govern all proceedings for the judicial review of final administrative decisions of the Department. The term “administrative decision” is defined as in Section 3-101 of the Code of Civil Procedure.  2

The Department shall not be required to certify any record to the court or file any answer in court or otherwise appear in any court in a judicial review proceeding, unless there is filed in the court with the complaint a receipt from the Department acknowledging payment of the costs of furnishing and certifying the record, which costs shall be computed at the rate of $1 per page of such record. Failure on the part of the plaintiff to file such receipt in Court shall be grounds for dismissal of the action.
