Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Collections
Bank filed action against two individuals to enforce guaranties for payment of promissory notes, and court entered judgment against them. An Illinois LLC in which the two Defendants owned membership interests was joined to enforce the judgment. Section 30-20 of the Illinois LLC Act does not preclude the prejudgment attachment procedures provided for in Section 4-101 of Code of Civil Procedure, because the Act plainly and explicitly confines itself to postjudgment collection procedures. Prejudgment attachment procedures in the Code are available to a potential judgment creditor to preserve a debtor-member's distributional interests in an LLC, and once a judgment is entered and a charging order is obtained, the order relates back to the date of the prejudgment attachment order for purposes of lien priority. (CHAPMAN and SPOMER, concurring.)
