Illinois Motion For Dismissal of Suit-Order (Small Claims) is a legal document used in the state of Illinois to dismiss a small-claims civil lawsuit. It is a request for the court to dismiss the pending lawsuit due to a lack of evidence or other legal grounds. The motion must be filed by the defendant, and if granted, can result in the dismissal of the lawsuit and the prevention of any further proceedings. There are two types of Illinois Motion For Dismissal of Suit-Order (Small Claims): pre-trial dismissal and post-trial dismissal. Pre-trial dismissal is a motion for dismissal of the lawsuit before the trial has begun, while post-trial dismissal is a motion for dismissal after the trial has been completed. Both motions must be accompanied by a brief, outlining the legal arguments for dismissal and any supporting evidence.
