In law as practiced in countries that follow the English models, a pleading is a formal written statement of one party's claims or defenses in response to another party's complaint(s) in a civil action. The parties' pleadings in a case define the issues to be adjudicated in the action.
Illinois law allows the respondent to request a bill of particulars from the party making the allegations. The bill of particulars is a written document in which a party has to explain the allegations in his/her complaint, or petition, in more detail.
The pleader shall have 28 days to file and serve the bill of particulars, and the party who requested the bill shall have 28 days to plead after being served with the bill.
