Amendment History
(P.B. 1978-1997, Sec. 150.)
Plain-English Summary
This rule enforces a one-shot approach to requesting revisions. Once a party files a request to revise, or files any subsequent motion or pleading in the sequence set out in Sections 10-6 and 10-7, that party gives up the right to seek any further pleading revisions it might have requested at that stage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a party file more than one request to revise against the same pleading?
Filing a request to revise waives the right to seek further pleading revisions the party could have requested at that point, so a party generally should not expect to file a second round.
Does filing a motion to strike instead of a request to revise waive anything?
Yes. Filing any subsequent motion or pleading in the sequence under Sections 10-6 and 10-7 waives the right to seek pleading revisions that could have been requested at that time.
Why does this rule exist?
The verbatim text does not state a purpose, but its effect is to require a party to raise all its requested pleading revisions at once rather than piecemeal.
