Illinois Stipulation for Uncontested Hearing is a legal agreement between parties that outlines the specific terms of a hearing where both parties have agreed to the stipulated facts of a case and waive their right to a contested hearing. The purpose of an uncontested hearing is to quickly resolve a civil dispute without the need for a full hearing. There are two types of Illinois Stipulation for Uncontested Hearing: 1) Stipulation of Settlement and Release and 2) Stipulation for Entry of Judgment. The Stipulation of Settlement and Release is generally used when both parties have reached an agreement on a settlement and wish to finalize the agreement without having to go through a full hearing. The Stipulation for Entry of Judgment is used when both parties have agreed to the facts of the case and wish for the court to enter a judgment in the case without having a contested hearing. Both types of stipulations must be signed by all parties involved and submitted to the court for approval.
