(705 ILCS 85/1) (from Ch. 116, par. 1)
Sec. 1.
Whenever the record of any judgment or
order, or other proceeding, of any judicial court of this State, or any
part of the record of any judicial proceeding, shall have been or shall
hereafter be lost or destroyed, any party or person interested therein may,
on application by petition, in writing, under oath, to such court, and on
showing, to the satisfaction of such court, that the same has been lost or
destroyed without fault or neglect of the party or person making such
application, obtain an order from such court, authorizing such defect to be
supplied by a duly certified copy of such original record, where the same
can be obtained; which certified copy shall, thereafter, have the same
effect as such original record would have had, in all respects.
