    AN ACT concerning civil law.

 
2
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, 
3
represented in the General Assembly: 


 
4
    Section 5. The Code of Civil Procedure is amended by 
5
changing Section 9-110 as follows:
 



6
    (735 ILCS 5/9-110)  (from Ch. 110, par. 9-110)



7
    Sec. 9-110. Judgment for whole premises - Stay of 
8
enforcement. If
it appears on the
the trial that the plaintiff 
9
is entitled
to the possession of the whole of the premises 
10
claimed, judgment for the
possession thereof and for costs 
11
shall be entered in favor of the plaintiff.
However, if the 
12
action is brought under Article IX of this Code and is
based 
13
upon a breach of a contract entered into
on or after July 1, 
14
1962 for the purchase of such premises, the court,
by order, 
15
may stay the enforcement of the judgment for a period
not to 
16
exceed 60 days from the date of the judgment, or if the court

17
finds that the amount unpaid on the contract is less than 75% 
18
of the
original purchase price, then the court shall stay the 
19
enforcement of the
judgment for a period of 180 days from the 
20
date of the judgment.  The court
may order a stay of less than 
21
180 days (but in no event less than 60
days) if it is shown that 
22
the plaintiff, prior to the filing of the action
under Article 
23
IX of this Act, granted the defendant previous extensions of

24
time to pay the amounts due under the contract, or for other 
25
good cause
shown.  If during such period of stay the defendant 
26
pays the entire amount
then due and payable under the terms of 
27
the contract other than such
portion of the principal balance 
28
due under the contract as would not be
due had no default 
29
occurred and costs and, if the contract provides
therefor, 
30
reasonable attorney's fees as fixed by the court, and cures
all 
31
other defaults then existing, the contract shall remain in 
32
force the
same as if no default had occurred.  The relief

1
granted to a defendant
by this Section shall not be exhausted 
2
by a single use thereof but shall
not be again available with 
3
respect to the same contract for a period of
5 years from the 
4
date of such judgment.  Whenever defendant cures the
default 
5
under the contract pursuant to this Section, the defendant may 
6
within
the period of stay file a motion to vacate the judgment 
7
in the court in
which the judgment was entered, and, if the 
8
court, upon the hearing of
such motion, is satisfied that such 
9
default has been cured, such
judgment shall be vacated.  Unless 
10
defendant files such motion to vacate
in the court or the 
11
judgment is otherwise stayed, enforcement of the judgment
may 
12
proceed
immediately upon the expiration of such period of stay 
13
and all rights of the
defendant in and to the premises and in 
14
and to the real estate described
in the contract are 
15
terminated.
16
    Nothing herein contained shall be construed as affecting 
17
the right of
a seller of such premises to any lawful remedy or 
18
relief other than that
provided by Part 1 of Article IX of this 
19
Act.
