Mob action and aggravated battery

Asked by a user in Mchenry, IL - almost 4 years ago.

Obviously, the most signficant consequences will be handed out by law enforcement. Keep in touch with the people handling the case so that they don't drop the ball. Civil cases against defendants like this are pretty much slam dunks, but they're usually not worth pursuing since there likely isn't any money to have. I'm assuming the defendants don't have any assets. There will also not be any insurance coverage because battery is an intentional act, and no insurance policies cover...

Under IL state law, does an injunction only protect the party that requested it

Asked by a user in Kankakee, IL - almost 4 years ago.

We need more information to answer your question. What is the nature of the injunction? Is it a preliminary (before trial) or permanent (after trial) injunction? Is it a TRO? What is the Defendant concerned about? Generally, as long as the Defendant knows about the injunction, he must obey it, no matter who is seeking to enforce it. If he doesn't like the injunction, he can challenge it in court, but he can't simply ignore the injunction.
