Aylward v. Dragus
Appellate Court of Illinois
Decided March 12, 1980No. 79-811PublishedCited by 5 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtJustice McNAMARA
The Attorney General sought the enforcement of a statutory lien in the full amount of $4,446.85, against the proceeds of a settlement recovered by plaintiff, William J. Aylward. The lien is recoverable under section 10(c) of the Crime Victims Compensation Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1977, ch. 70, par. 80(c)), for compensation paid to plaintiff. The trial court adjudicated the lien and reduced its amount to $2,200. The State appeals from the order reducing the amount of the lien. It contends that the trial court lacked the statutory authority to reduce a valid lien under the Act in question.
