Committee Comments

In 1973, the Illinois Replevin Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 119) was amended to provide for a

notice and hearing prior to the issuance of the writ in conformity with the decision of the United

States Supreme Court in Fuentes v. Shevin (1972), 407 U.S. 67. Section 4(a) of the statute, as

amended, provides that five days’ notice of a hearing on the question of the issuance of a writ of

replevin be given “in the manner required by Rule of the Supreme Court.” Rule 107 provides the

form and manner of service of such notice.
