Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Motions to Vacate
Court properly dismissed Defendant's Section 2-1401 petition to vacate judgment of foreclosure. Defendant waived jurisdiction when he participated in hearing and failed to contest court's jurisdiction within 60 days required by Section 15-1505.6 of Foreclosure Law. Defendant failed to establish by preponderance of evidence a meritorious defense and that he was duly diligent. (McBRIDE, concurring; GORDON, dissenting.)
