Ill. R. Cir. Ct. McHenry Cnty. 3.02

As amended through September 23, 2024

Rule 3.02 - 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, then such facts shall be realleged verbatim. This rule does not prohibit the incorporation of facts as permitted by Supreme Court Rule 134, provided the pleading remains readily comprehensible.

C. The court may order a consolidation of pleadings into one comprehensible finished set.
