FAQ
A Motion to Dismiss pursuant to 735 ILCS 5/2-615 alleges that there are defects on the face of the pleading. This typically means that the pleading does not state a claim for which the relief being requested can be granted.
The court may grant a motion to dismiss if the plaintiff's complaint fails to allege all the elements of a claim adequately. Or the court may grant it if the complaint fails to allege a measurable injury.
These include dismissals for: (b)(1) a lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. (b)(2) a lack of personal jurisdiction. (b)(3) improper venue.
If the motion to dismiss is convincing, you might have to present your own affidavits and documents to prove that the allegations did occur as you have described, or at least there is a question about the facts of the case as to whether or not what you have alleged actually happened.
Writing a Persuasive Motion to Dismiss Be Clear and Concise: Use straightforward language and be diligent with proofreading. Stay Focused on the Legal Issues: Avoid unnecessary details and stick to the relevant legal arguments. Support Every Claim: Use statutes, case law, and rules of procedure to back up your points.
Grounds for filing a motion to dismiss Inadequate service of process: The summons and complaint may not have been appropriately served on the defendant. Statute of limitations: If the statute of limitations for any of the claims in the complaint has expired, a motion to dismiss is appropriate.
A “motion to dismiss” is typically filed in response to a complaint and is made in lieu of filing an “answer.” Technically, a plaintiff can move to “strike” a defense that a defendant has pled, given that defenses are subject to the same pleading requirements as are the plaintiff's claims.
The court may grant a motion to dismiss if the plaintiff's complaint fails to allege all the elements of a claim adequately. Or the court may grant it if the complaint fails to allege a measurable injury.
