Full Text of Section 10-37
(b) The objection and the reasons therefor shall be inserted on the request to revise in the space provided under the appropriate requested revision. In the event that a reason for objection requires more space than that provided on the request to revise, it shall be continued on a separate sheet of paper which shall be attached to that document, except where the request is served electronically as provided in Section 10-13 and in a format that allows the recipient to electronically insert the objection and reasons therefor. The request to revise on which objections have been inserted shall be appended to a cover sheet which shall comply with Sections 4-1 and 4-2 and the objecting party shall specify thereon to which of the requested revisions objection is raised. The cover sheet with the appended objections shall be filed with the clerk within thirty days from the date of the filing of the request for the next short calendar list. If the judicial authority overrules the objection, a substitute pleading in compliance with the order of the judicial authority shall be filed within fifteen days of such order.

Plain-English Summary
A request to revise, once served on each party and filed with the clerk, does not wait for a judge to rule on it. Section 10-37 treats the request as automatically granted on the date it is filed, and the party it is directed to must comply within thirty days of that filing date — unless that party files an objection within the same thirty-day window.
An objection has to follow a specific format. The party objecting writes the objection and the reasons for it directly on the request to revise, in the space provided under the revision being contested, or on an attached sheet if more room is needed, unless the request was served electronically in a format that allows the objection to be inserted electronically. The objecting party then appends the request, with objections inserted, to a cover sheet complying with Sections 4-1 and 4-2, specifying which requested revisions are being objected to, and files it with the clerk within thirty days of the original filing for the next short calendar list. If the judicial authority overrules the objection, the party must file a substitute pleading complying with the court’s order within fifteen days of that order.
