§ 10-12. Service of the Pleading and Other Papers--Responsibility of Counsel or Pro Se Party: Documents and Persons to Be Served

(a)It is the responsibility of counsel or a pro se party filing the same to serve on each other party who has appeared one copy of every pleading subsequent to the original complaint, every written motion other than one in which an order is sought ex parte and every paper relating to discovery, request, demand, claim, notice or similar paper, except a request for mediation under section 16 of Public Act 08-176. When a party is represented by an attorney, the service shall be made upon the attorney unless service upon the party is ordered by the judicial authority.

(b)It shall be the responsibility of counsel or a pro se party at the time of filing a motion for default for failure to appear to serve the party sought to be defaulted with a copy of the motion. Upon good cause shown, the judicial authority may dispense with this requirement when judgment is rendered.

(c)Any pleading asserting new or additional claims for relief against parties who have not appeared or who have been defaulted shall be served on such parties.
