In resolving issues concerning applications for recovery, however, courts, including this court, have used the phrase "petition for recovery" when discussing an "application" for recovery. See, e.g., People v. Cooper, 132 Ill.2d 347 (1989); Shiro, 52 Ill.2d at 282; People v. Sizemore, 311 Ill. App.3d 917 (2000); People v. Tunget, 287 Ill. App.3d 533 (1997). People v. Hannan, 184 Ill. App.3d 937 (1989); People v. Parrott, 108 Ill. App.3d 222 (1982).
We have previously acknowledged that the Act imposes a significant burden on this State's limited resources. People v. Tunget, 287 Ill. App.3d 533, 678 N.E.2d 1246 (1997); People v. Burk, 289 Ill. App.3d 270, 682 N.E.2d 352 (1997). However, we must conclude that the Act was violated when the trial court dismissed the defendant's petition by means of summary judgment.
