Decisions and orders.(a) A final decision or order adverse to a party (other than the agency)  in a contested case shall be in writing or stated in the record.  A final  decision shall include findings of fact and conclusions of law, separately  stated.  Findings of fact, if set forth in statutory language, shall be  accompanied by a concise and explicit statement of the underlying facts  supporting the findings.  If, in accordance with agency rules, a party  submitted proposed findings of fact, the decision shall include a ruling  upon each proposed finding.

Upon request a copy of the  decision or order shall be delivered or mailed forthwith to each party and  to his attorney of record.(b) All agency orders shall specify whether they are final and subject  to the Administrative Review Law. Every final order shall contain a list of all parties of record to the case including the name and address of the agency or officer entering the order and the addresses of each party as  known to the agency where  the parties may be served with pleadings, notices, or service of  process for any review or further proceedings. Every final order shall also state whether the rules of the agency require any motion or request for reconsideration and cite the rule for the requirement. The changes made by this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly apply to all actions filed under the Administrative Review Law on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly.(c) A decision by any agency in a contested case under this Act shall be  void unless the proceedings are conducted in compliance with the provisions  of this Act relating to contested cases, except to the extent those provisions  are waived under Section 10-70 and except to the extent the  agency has adopted its own rules for contested cases as authorized in Section  1-5.

 (from Ch. 127, par. 1010-55)Sec. 10-55.     Expenses and attorney's fees.(a) In any contested case initiated by any agency that does  not proceed to court for judicial review and on any issue where a court  does not have jurisdiction to make an award of litigation expenses under  Section 2-611 of the Civil Practice Law, any allegation made by the agency  without reasonable cause and found to be untrue shall subject the agency  making the allegation to the payment of the reasonable expenses, including  reasonable attorney's fees, actually incurred in defending against that  allegation by the party against whom the case was initiated. A claimant may  not recover litigation expenses when the parties have executed a settlement  agreement that, while not stipulating liability or violation, requires the  claimant to take correction action or pay a monetary sum.(b) The claimant shall make a demand for litigation expenses to the  agency.  If the claimant is dissatisfied because of the agency's failure to  make any award or because of the insufficiency of the agency's award, the  claimant may petition the Court of Claims for the amount deemed owed.  If  allowed any recovery by the Court of Claims, the claimant shall also be  entitled to reasonable attorney's fees and the reasonable expenses incurred  in making a claim for the expenses incurred in the administrative action.  The Court of Claims may reduce the amount of the litigation expenses to be  awarded under this Section, or deny an award, to the extent that the  claimant engaged in conduct during the course of the proceeding that unduly  and unreasonably protracted the final resolution of the matter in controversy.(c) In any case in which a party has any administrative rule invalidated  by a court for any reason, including but not limited to the agency's exceeding  its statutory authority or the agency's failure to follow statutory procedures  in the adoption of the rule, the court shall award the party bringing the  action the reasonable expenses of the litigation, including reasonable  attorney's fees.
