When is an Illinois interlocutory supporting record due?

Establish the ordinary Rule 307(a) order and actual entry.

Check whether the Juvenile Court Act exception requires a Rule 323 record instead.

Obtain any actual order extending supporting-record time.

1. Establish the ordinary Rule 307(a) order and actual entry.
2. Exclude the independently established triggering day and count intermediate calendar days under 5 ILCS 70/1.11. A filing, entry, effective service or previously established due date must come from its actual record. Do not substitute one event for another.
3. Check statutory holidays and the proper court’s actual calendar.
4. Complete the particular act in the proper court.

Section 1.11 excludes a final Saturday, Sunday or statutory holiday and consecutive excluded days. Section 17(a) of the Promissory Note and Bank Holiday Act includes Pulaski Day, Good Friday and the general election for members of the House of Representatives. Check proclamations, the proper court’s actual calendar and clerk access separately. The bundled Illinois calendar covers 2026 and 2027.

Fictitious example

Fictitious facts. The ordinary qualifying order is entered and no record extension or juvenile record exception applies. The established event is August 2, 2027. No additional closure or different actual order applies.

Fictitious facts. The appeal classification and triggering event are independently established. No additional closure, court order or unmodeled restart is assumed.

The ordinary branch excludes specified special procedures

Rule 307(a) lists qualifying injunction, receiver, possession, financial-institution and adoption orders. Ex parte orders use paragraph (b), temporary restraining orders paragraph (d), and its eminent-domain class incorporates the statute’s appeal and stay procedure. Establish the actual class rather than assuming every interlocutory order is appealable.

Ex parte orders require the prior motion and actual event

Rule 307(b) requires a motion to vacate presented on notice. Its appeal and supporting-record time runs from actual denial or the last day for trial-court action after presentation, as applicable. Original ex parte order entry alone is not this branch’s event.

The record extension concerns record time

Rule 307(a) allows the Appellate Court or a judge to extend supporting-record time. A granted record extension does not by itself establish an extension of the separate notice period.

Covered juvenile termination cases require another record

Rule 307(a) prohibits a Rule 328 supporting record in the stated Juvenile Court Act cases where parental rights were terminated and requires a Rule 323 record.

• Check the governing edition and actual orders. A current rule does not establish every historical appeal’s timetable.

• File the applicable supporting record with the Appellate Court. Preserve actual order entry, the record filing receipt and any granted extension. Complete notice and docketing obligations separately. Use the proper clerk and required filing format. Rule 9 ordinarily requires electronic filing in civil cases, subject to its exceptions and exemptions. Rule 9(f) ordinarily uses submission before midnight in the court time zone, unless a statute, rule or order sets a particular time. A submission when the clerk is closed is ordinarily stamped on the next open day. Current Rule 9(f) provides separate five-court-day motions for a rejected filing or qualifying technical failure; establish the actual notice, failure, corrected document and required proof. Rule 373 ordinarily uses actual receipt, with its mail or carrier exception limited to filings excepted or exempt from electronic filing. Its carrier branch requires delivery for receipt within three business days and Rule 12(b) proof. Filing and service remain separate acts. Use Rule 11’s applicable service method and file Rule 12 proof. Rule 12(c) makes electronic or personal delivery service effective on its stated day, mail service complete four days after mailing, and third-party carrier service complete on the third court day after delivery to the carrier. Establish effective service before using a service-triggered calculator. A rule requiring personal or email service cannot be replaced with ordinary mail.
