Case Management Order - Category 2 Cases {CCL 0060}

CCL 0060 - CASE MANAGEMENT ORDER - CATEGORY 2 CASES. This form is used in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Law Division to establish a structured timeline for the completion of discovery and the resolution of dispositive motions in Category 2 civil cases. Unlike Category 1 cases, this order allows 26 months from the filing of the complaint for the completion of all case-related procedures. The order outlines specific deadlines for key litigation activities, including service of process, discovery requests and responses, depositions, expert witness disclosures, dispositive motions, and trial certification. It ensures compliance with Illinois Supreme Court Rule 218, which mandates early case management to promote judicial efficiency. This form is used to streamline case progression, reduce delays, and ensure that all discovery and motions are completed in a timely manner. The order warns that failure to comply may result in sanctions under Illinois Supreme Court Rule 219(C) and that failure to enforce the order may be considered a waiver of discovery rights. The judge enters this order to formalize the litigation schedule, and all parties must adhere to the specified deadlines. www.FormsWorkflow.com
