Plain-English Summary
This rule sets the format for a request to revise. For every requested revision, the request must set out the portion of the pleading to be revised, the revision requested, and the reasons for it. Unless the request is served electronically under Section 10-13 in a format that lets the recipient insert an objection electronically, the request must leave enough space for the party receiving it to write in an objection and the reasons for that objection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What must each requested revision in a request to revise include?
The portion of the pleading targeted, the specific revision sought, and the reasons for the request.
Does the request to revise have to leave room for the other side to object?
Yes, unless it is served electronically in a format under Section 10-13 that lets the recipient insert the objection electronically—otherwise the request must provide sufficient space for a written objection and reasons.
Can a request to revise just say the pleading is unclear without more detail?
No. The rule requires the reasons for each requested revision to be set forth, not just the requested change itself.
