Sec. 2-604.2. Requesting remedies from the court.(a) Except in personal injury actions, every count in every complaint and counterclaim must request specific remedies the party believes it should receive from the court.In a personal injury action, a party may not claim an amount of money unless necessary to comply with the circuit court rules about where a case is assigned. In a personal injury action, if a complaint is filed that contains an amount claimed and the claim is not necessary to comply with the circuit court rules about where a case is assigned, the complaint shall be dismissed without prejudice on the defendant's motion or on the court's own motion.(b) A party may request remedies from the court in the alternative. A request for a remedy from the court that is not supported by allegations in the complaint or counterclaim may be objected to by motion or in the answering pleading.(c) Except in the case of default, the remedies requested from the court do not limit the remedies available. Except in the case of default, if a party seeks remedies other than those listed in the complaint or counterclaim, the court may, by proper order, and upon terms that may be just, protect the adverse party against prejudice by reason of surprise.In the case of default, if a remedy is sought in the pleading, whether by amendment, counterclaim, or otherwise, that is beyond what the defaulted party requested, notice shall be given to the defaulted party as provided by Illinois Supreme Court Rule 105.(d) The defendant is not prohibited from requesting from the plaintiff, by interrogatory, the amount of damages sought.

If  any pleading is so verified, every subsequent pleading must also be  verified, unless verification is excused by the court. In pleadings  which are so verified, the several matters stated shall be stated  positively or upon information and belief only, according to the fact.  Verified allegations do not constitute evidence except by way of  admission.(b) The allegation of the execution or assignment of any written  instrument is admitted unless denied in a pleading verified by oath,  except in cases in which verification is excused by the court. If the  party making the denial is not the person alleged to have executed or  assigned the instrument, the denial may be made on the information and  belief of that party.    (Source: P.A. 82-280.)

Service of process on parties already  before the court is not necessary.(c) Every counterclaim shall be pleaded in the same manner and with  the same particularity as a complaint, and shall be complete in itself,  but allegations set forth in other parts of the answer may be  incorporated by specific reference instead of being repeated.(d) An answer to a counterclaim and pleadings subsequent thereto  shall be filed as in the case of a complaint and with like designation  and effect.

A bad alternative does not affect a good one.(c) Defenses to jurisdiction of the subject matter or in abatement  or in bar may be pleaded together, without waiving any defense so  pleaded, but the court may order defenses to jurisdiction of the subject  matter or in abatement to be tried first.  An answer containing only  defenses to jurisdiction of the subject matter or in abatement does not  constitute an admission of the facts alleged in the complaint,  counterclaim or third-party complaint.(d) The facts constituting any affirmative defense, such as payment,  release, satisfaction, discharge, license, fraud, duress, estoppel,  laches, statute of frauds, illegality, that the negligence of a  complaining party contributed in whole or in part to the injury of which he  complains, that an  instrument or transaction  is either void or voidable in point of law, or cannot be recovered upon  by reason of any statute or by reason of nondelivery, want or failure of  consideration in whole or in part, and any defense which by other  affirmative matter seeks to avoid the legal effect of or defeat the  cause of action set forth in the complaint, counterclaim, or third-party  complaint, in whole or in part, and any ground or defense, whether  affirmative or not, which, if not expressly stated in the pleading,  would be likely to take the opposite party by surprise, must be plainly  set forth in the answer or reply.
