A defendant who returns a timely waiver  of service is not required to appear or serve an answer to the complaint  until (i) 60 days from the date on which the request for waiver of service  was sent or (ii) 90 days if the defendant was addressed outside of the  United States.(d) Effect of filing.  When a waiver of service is filed by the  plaintiff with the court, the action shall proceed as if a summons and  complaint had been served at the time of filing of the waiver, and no proof  of service shall be required.(e) Right to refuse to waive service; effect of refusal.  A defendant  may refuse to waive service of a summons.  If a defendant does not return the  waiver provided for in subsection (a), the plaintiff must serve summons on  that defendant as otherwise provided by this Code and Supreme Court rules.

 (from Ch. 110, par. 2-301)Sec. 2-301. Objections to jurisdiction over the person.(a) Prior to the filing of any other pleading or motion  other than as set forth in subsection (a-6), a  party may  object to the court's jurisdiction over the party's person, either on the  ground  that  the party is not  amenable to process of a court of this State or on the ground of insufficiency  of process  or insufficiency of service of process, by filing a motion to dismiss the  entire  proceeding  or any cause of action involved in the proceeding or by filing a motion to  quash service of  process.  Such a motion may be made singly or included with others in a  combined  motion, but the parts of a combined motion must be identified in the manner  described in  Section 2-619.1.  Unless the facts that constitute the basis for the objection  are apparent  from papers already on file in the case, the motion must be supported by an  affidavit  setting forth those facts.(a-5) (Blank).(a-6) A party filing any other pleading  or motion prior to the filing of a motion objecting to the court's jurisdiction over the party's person as set forth in subsection (a) waives all objections to the court's jurisdiction over the party's person prospectively, unless the initial motion filed is one of the following:(1) A motion for an extension of time to answer or     otherwise plead.(2) A motion filed under Section 2-1301, 2-1401, or     2-1401.1.     Any motion objecting to the court's jurisdiction over the party's person as set forth in subsection (a) shall be filed within 60 days of the court's order disposing of the initial motion filed under Section 2-1301, 2-1401, or 2-1401.1. Nothing in this subsection precludes a party from filing a motion under subsection (a) combined with a motion under Section 2-1301, 2-1401, or 2-1401.1. If such a combined motion is filed, any objection to the court's jurisdiction over the party's person is not waived.(b) In disposing of a motion objecting to the  court's jurisdiction over the person  of the objecting  party,  the court shall  consider all matters apparent from the papers on file in the case,  affidavits submitted by any party, and any evidence adduced upon  contested issues of fact.  The court shall enter an appropriate order sustaining or overruling the  objection.  No determination of any issue of fact in  connection with the objection is a determination of the merits of the  case or any aspect thereof. A decision adverse to the objector does not  preclude the objector from making any motion or defense which he or she might  otherwise  have made.(c) Error in ruling against the objecting party on  the objection is  waived by the party's taking part in further proceedings unless the objection  is on the ground that the party  is not  amenable to process issued by a court of this State.

(a) The assignee and owner of a non-negotiable chose in action may  sue thereon in his or her own name. Such person shall in his or her pleading  on oath allege  that he or she is the actual bona fide owner thereof, and set forth how and  when he or she acquired title. The action is subject to any defense or  set-off  existing before notice of the assignment.(b) In all cases in which the chose in action consists of wages due  or to become due to the assignor thereof from the defendant in the  action, at least 5 days' written notice of the pendency of the action  shall be served upon the assignor, before the trial of the same. Upon  application of the assignor of the chose in action the court shall allow  him or her to intervene and be made a party to the action.   The assignor, or the  defendant to the action on behalf of the assignor, shall be allowed to set  up or affirmatively maintain any just setoff, discount or defense which  the assignor may have to the assignment of the chose in action, or to the  indebtedness, the payment of which is secured by the assignment of the chose  in action.  The  court, by jury or otherwise, shall ascertain the amount of the  indebtedness remaining due and unpaid from the assignor to the assignee  of the chose in action. The judgment, if any, against the defendant  shall not exceed the amount so found to be due and unpaid from the  assignor to the assignee of the chose in action. Judgment for the  balance, if any, remaining due from the defendant, upon the assigned  chose in action, shall be rendered in favor of the assignor and against  the defendant in the action or proceeding. The court may  enter any order  as to costs in the proceeding that may be equitable.(c) Any action hereafter brought by virtue of the subrogation  provision of any contract or by virtue of subrogation by operation of  law shall be brought either in the name or for the use of the subrogee;  and the subrogee shall in his or her pleading on oath,  or by his or her  affidavit if pleading is not required, allege that he or she is the actual bona  fide subrogee and set forth how and when he or she became subrogee.(d) A judgment in an action brought and conducted by a subrogee by  virtue of the subrogation provision of any contract or by virtue of any  subrogation by operation of law, whether in the name of the subrogor or  otherwise, is not a bar or a determination on the merits of the case or  any aspect thereof in an action by the subrogor to recover upon any  other cause of action arising out of the same transaction or series of  transactions.

All persons may join in one action as plaintiffs,  in whom any right to relief in respect of or arising out of the same  transaction or series of transactions is alleged to exist, whether  jointly, severally or in the alternative, whenever if those persons had  brought separate actions any common question of law or fact would arise.  If upon the application of any party it shall appear that  joinder may embarrass or delay the trial of the action, the court may  order separate trials or enter any other order that may be expedient.  Judgment may be entered for any one or more of the plaintiffs who may be  found to be entitled to relief, for the relief to which he or she or they may  be entitled.If any one who is a necessary plaintiff, counterclaimant or  third-party plaintiff declines to join, he or she may be made a defendant,  cross defendant or third-party defendant, as the case may be, the reason  therefor being stated in the complaint, counterclaim or third-party  complaint.

(a) Any person may be made a defendant who, either jointly,  severally or in the alternative, is alleged to have or claim an interest  in the controversy, or in any part thereof, or in the transaction or  series of transactions out of which the controversy arose, or whom it is  necessary to make a party for the complete determination or settlement  of any question involved therein, or against whom a liability is  asserted either jointly, severally or in the alternative arising out of  the same transaction or series of transactions, regardless of the number  of causes of action joined.(b) It is not necessary that each defendant be interested as to all  the relief prayed for, or as to every cause of action included in any  proceeding against him or her; but the court may make any order that may be  just to prevent any defendant from being embarrassed or put to expense  by being required to attend any proceedings in which such defendant may have no  interest.(c) If the plaintiff is in doubt as to the person from whom he or she is  entitled to redress, he or she may join two or more defendants, and state his or her  claim against them in the alternative in the same count or plead  separate counts in the alternative against different defendants, to the  intent that the question which, if any, of the defendants is liable, and  to what extent, may be determined as between the parties.

(a) If a complete determination of a controversy cannot be had  without the presence of other parties, the court may direct them to be  brought in. If a person, not a party, has an interest or title which the  judgment may affect, the court, on application, shall direct such person to be  made a party.(b) Within the time for filing his or her answer or thereafter by leave of  court, a defendant may by third-party complaint bring in as a defendant  a person not a party to the action who is or may be liable to him or her for  all or part of the plaintiff's claim against him or her. Subsequent pleadings  shall be filed as in the case of a complaint and with like designation  and effect. The third-party defendant may assert any defenses which he or she  has to the third-party complaint or which the third-party plaintiff has  to the plaintiff's claim and shall have the same right to file a  counterclaim or third-party complaint as any other defendant. If the  plaintiff desires to assert against the third-party defendant any claim  which the plaintiff might have asserted against the third-party  defendant had he or she been joined originally as a defendant, the plaintiff shall do so  by an appropriate pleading. When a counterclaim is filed against a  party, the party may in like manner proceed against third parties.  Nothing  herein applies to liability insurers.(c) An action is commenced against a new party by the filing of an  appropriate pleading or the entry of an order naming him or her a party.  Service of process shall be had upon a new party in like manner as is  provided for service on a defendant.    (Source: P.A. 82-280.)

(a) Upon timely application anyone shall be  permitted as of right to intervene in an action: (1) when a statute  confers an unconditional right to intervene; or (2) when the  representation of the applicant's interest by existing parties is or may  be inadequate and the applicant will or may be bound by an order or  judgment in the action; or (3) when the applicant is so situated as to  be adversely affected by a distribution or other disposition of property  in the custody or subject to the control or disposition of the court or  a court officer.(b) Upon timely application anyone may in the discretion of the  court be permitted to intervene in an action: (1) when a statute confers  a conditional right to intervene; or (2) when an applicant's claim or  defense and the main action have a question of law or fact in common.(c) In all cases involving the validity of a constitutional  provision, statute or regulation of this State and affecting the public  interest, the State upon timely application may in the discretion of the  court be permitted to intervene.(d) In all cases involving the validity of an ordinance or  regulation of a municipality or governmental subdivision of this State  and affecting the public interest, the municipality or governmental  subdivision upon timely application may in the discretion of the court  be permitted to intervene.(e) A person desiring to intervene shall present a petition setting  forth the grounds for intervention, accompanied by the initial pleading  or motion which he or she proposes to file.

Persons having claims against the plaintiff arising out of the same  or related subject matter may be joined as defendants and required to  interplead when their claims may expose plaintiff to double or multiple  liability. It is not a ground for objection to interpleader that the  claims of the several claimants or the titles upon which their claims  depend do not have a common origin or are not identical, or are adverse  to or independent of one another, or that the plaintiff avers that he or she is  not liable in whole or in part to any of or all the claimants. A  defendant under similar circumstances may obtain like relief by  counterclaim. The provisions hereof are not a limitation upon the  joinder of parties or causes of action.
