Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Mortgage Foreclosure
Court entered judgment of foreclosure and confirming foreclosure sale, after allowing service by publication. Affidavit is at odds with notary's seal, and date that affidavit was executed and notarized cannot be determined. Thus, Bank's motion to serve by publication did not strictly comply with requirements of 735 ILCS 5/2-206 and thus publication notice was insufficient to confer personal jurisdiction over Defendant, and subsequent orders based on that service are void.(HYMAN and PUCINSKI, concurring.)
