Ill. R. Cir. Ct. Dupage Cnty. 6.03

As amended through September 23, 2024
Rule 6.03 - PLEADINGS TO BE READILY COMPREHENSIBLE
(a)Multiple-Count Pleadings. If a pleading contains multiple counts or affirmative defenses, each count or defense shall bear a short title concisely stating the theory of liability or defense. If the pleading is filed on behalf of or against multiple parties and all such parties are not asserting the same claims or defenses as to all opposing parties, the title of each count or defense shall also concisely designate the subgroup of parties to whom it pertains.
(b)Incorporation by Reference. If the incorporation of facts by reference to another pleading or to another part of the same pleading will cause a pleading not to be readily comprehensible, such facts shall be realleged verbatim. Rule 6.03 does not prohibit the incorporation of facts as permitted by Supreme Court Rule 134, provided that the pleading remains readily comprehensible.
(c) The Court may order a consolidation of pleadings into one finished comprehensible set.
(d) Nothing in Rule 6.03 shall be applied in such manner as to abridge or conflict with 735 ILCS 5/2-603 (Code of Civil Procedure).
(e) All pleadings wherein money damages are requested for matters other than injury to the person shall be specific as to the dollar amount claimed. In all pleadings where injury to the person is alleged, the prayer for relief must indicate the amount of damages claimed to be as follows:
(1) Not greater than $2,500; or
(2) Greater than $2,500 and but not in excess of $10,000; or
(3) Greater than $10,000 and but not in excess of $15,000; or
(4) Greater than $15,000 and but not in excess of $50,000; or
(5) Greater than $50,000.
