Illinois Motion To Continue is a legal motion filed in the Illinois court system to postpone the scheduled hearing of a case. The motion can be filed by either the plaintiff or defendant in a civil or criminal case. It can be used to delay a court hearing due to a variety of reasons, including the need for more time to prepare a case, the unavailability of a witness or a lawyer, or the need for further research. There are three main types of Illinois Motion To Continue: Default Motion To Continue, Agreed Order Motion To Continue, and Joint Motion To Continue. A Default Motion To Continue is a motion to delay a hearing that is filed by one party without prior agreement or approval by the other party. An Agreed Order Motion To Continue is a motion filed by both parties that is agreed upon and approved by the court. A Joint Motion To Continue is a motion filed by both parties that is filed jointly and approved by the court.
