ill · 2002 · cited in 1 Illinois opinions naming this issue, 2011–2011
1 sentence

2011Finally, Trice claims that LVNV’s failure to register makes the judgment in its favor void, and not merely voidable. ¶ 11 When the trial court enters a void judgment, a party aggrieved by the judgment may attack it in a section 2–1401 motion without showing diligence. “[T]he allegation that the judgment or order is void substitutes for and negates the need to allege a meritorious defense and due diligence.” Sarkissian v. Chicago Board of Education, 201 Ill. 2d 95, 104 (2002). ¶ 12 The parties cite us no case in which a court decided whether a violation of the Act rendered a judgment void.
