Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(735 ILCS 5/2-1102) (from Ch. 110, par. 2-1102)

Sec. 2-1102.

Examination of adverse party or agent.

Upon the trial of any case any party thereto or any person for whose
immediate benefit the action is prosecuted or defended, or the officers,
directors, managing agents or foreman of any party to the action, may be
called and examined as if under cross-examination at the instance of any
adverse party. The party calling for the examination is not concluded
thereby but may rebut the testimony thus given by countertestimony and
may impeach the witness by proof of prior inconsistent statements.
