When is an ordinary Illinois interlocutory notice of appeal due?

Identify the actual listed interlocutory order class.

Obtain actual order entry rather than announcement or later service.

1. Identify the actual listed interlocutory order class.
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. A qualifying ordinary non-ex-parte injunction order is entered, outside the temporary-restraining and statutory branches. 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 notice has a prescribed designation

Rule 307(a) requires the notice to be designated as an interlocutory appeal and substantially conform to the notice in other cases. Paragraph (d)(1) expressly identifies circuit-court notice filing for its special petition branch.

The supporting record remains independently required

Rule 307(a) ordinarily requires the Rule 328 supporting record within the same thirty days, subject to actual reviewing-court extension and its Juvenile Court Act record exception.

• The calculator does not decide appealability, disputed facts, sufficiency of a filing or whether the court grants relief.
• Check the governing edition and actual orders. A current rule does not establish every historical appeal’s timetable.

• File the designated notice of interlocutory appeal in the circuit court, substantially conforming to the ordinary notice requirements. Complete applicable service and proof. The supporting record and docketing statement require their separate filings. 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.
