What does it mean: "case set on prove up call - continued" in Cook County, IL. The participant is the defendant.

The case set on proveup call means the DEefendant has not filed the papers necessary to set the case for trial and the Plaintiff is entitled to secure judgment. Apparently the proveup was continued for reasons unknown.

If you are a defendant in the case, sounds like they entered judgment against you and set a date to "prove-up" damages and costs that are owed. If you never participated in the case and they entered a default judgment against you, it would be a good idea to call an attorney right away to file a motion to vacate default judgment. If you cannot afford an attorney you may file the motion yourself or appear in court to request leave to do so.
