Illinois Statutes Chapter 820. Employment § 405/2205. Judicial review of decisions on contributions

§ 2205. Judicial review of decisions on contributions. The Circuit Court of the county wherein the hearing provided for in Sections 2200 and 2201 was held shall have power to review the final administrative decisions of the Director rendered pursuant to those Sections. The provisions of the Administrative Review Law, and all amendments and modifications thereof,  1 and the rules adopted pursuant thereto, shall apply to and govern all proceedings for the judicial review of such final administrative decisions of the Director. The term “administrative decision” is defined as in Section 3-101 of the Code of Civil Procedure.  2 Such review proceedings shall be given precedence over all other civil cases except cases arising under the Workers' Compensation Act  3 of this State.

The Director shall not be required to certify the record to the Circuit Court unless the party commencing such proceedings for review shall pay to the Director the cost of certification of the record as provided in Section 2200. The Director or the Commissioner of Unemployment Compensation, in the absence of the Director, upon receipt of such payment, shall prepare and certify to the court a true and correct typewritten copy of all matters contained in such record.

The Clerk of any court rendering a decision affecting a decision of the Director shall promptly furnish the Director with a copy of such court's decision, without charge, and the Director shall enter an order in accordance with such decision.
