I am confused about the process after the Illinois appellate court takes up a case, which can take 60 to 90 days. What happens next?

I need to file for injunctive relief immediately due to a tenant-landlord issue where I, the tenant, have received a 60-day notice to quit in retaliation for asserting my rights, contacting health departments, and ombudsmen, and facing harassment and false allegations from the landlord. What legal actions can I take, and what are my rights in this situation?

I am applying for jobs as a Personal/Executive assistant through an agency, and I am concerned about a recent psychiatric hospitalization for depression that occurred during my divorce. Does a background check ever involve checking medical records, and could this information be a problem if disclosed?

I am involved in a breach of residential lease case where I was charged liquidated damages of almost $900 on $300 worth of actual damages. I lost in JP court and was required to post an appeal bond of double the judgment amount, which was almost $2,400. The judge rejected my inability to pay and I had to come up with the money. Now, the opposing party is trying to get the case tossed from County court for lack of jurisdiction on appeal, claiming the appeal bond should have included attorney fees, making it almost $8,000. I am trying to get the bond amount decreased based on several legal arguments. Are these arguments correct, and do they have a strong legal basis?

I loaned a significant amount of money to a partner over several years, and I have proof of these transactions. I am now facing financial difficulties due to health issues, and my partner has not repaid the loan. How can I recover the money, and what legal steps should I take?
