FAQ
There are two types of Motions to Dismiss in Illinois: 2-6151 Motions and 2-6192 Motions. While each Motion seeks the same relief– the dismissal of the Petitioner's pleading– they are filed for different reasons.
A 2-615 motion for judgment on the pleadings requires a determination of whether the pleadings disclose any material issue of fact and, if not, whether the moving party is entitled to judgment as matter of law.
2-619. Involuntary dismissal based upon certain defects or defenses.
At the request of a party the court shall order witnesses excluded so that they cannot hear the testimony of other witnesses, and it may make the order of its own motion.
There are several types of pleadings in civil litigation. These include complaints, which serve as the basis of the legal action, and answers, which are the responses to the complaints. There may also be counterclaims, crossclaims, and third-party claims, which are also types of pleadings.
A section 2-615 motion to dismiss is appropriate if there is a defect on the face of the complaint or other pleading. Common bases for a section 2-615 motion include failing to allege essential elements of the alleged cause of action and failing to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, among others.
8 The Illinois Code of Civil Procedure (Code) requires pleadings to “contain a plain and concise statement of the pleader's cause of action, counterclaim, defense, or reply.”9 In other words, the pleading must contain a plain statement identifying what the pleader is alleging or denying.
Pleading is one of the first stages of a lawsuit. In a pleading, the parties formally submit their claims and the defenses against the opposition's claims.
(c) Pleadings must contain facts which, if true, are sufficient to constitute a violation of the Act or a Commission regulation or order, or a defense to an alleged violation. (d) Averred facts, claims, or defenses shall be made in numbered paragraphs and must be supported by relevant evidence.
The 3 Vital Elements of Pleading A short statement of the grounds on which the court's jurisdiction depends. A short statement of the claims that the plaintiff or pleader is entitled to. The demand for judgment for the relief the plaintiff or pleader seeks.
