8    (a) Prior to the filing of any other pleading or motion
9other than as set forth in subsection (a-6) a motion for an
10extension of time to answer or otherwise appear, a party may
11object to the court's jurisdiction over the party's person,
12either on the ground that the party is not amenable to process
13of a court of this State or on the ground of insufficiency of
14process or insufficiency of service of process, by filing a
15motion to dismiss the entire proceeding or any cause of action

1service of process. Such a motion may be made singly or
2included with others in a combined motion, but the parts of a
3combined motion must be identified in the manner described in
4Section 2-619.1. Unless the facts that constitute the basis for
5the objection are apparent from papers already on file in the
6case, the motion must be supported by an affidavit setting
7forth those facts.
8    (a-5) (Blank). If the objecting party files a responsive
9pleading or a motion (other than a motion for an extension of
10time to answer or otherwise appear) prior to the filing of a
11motion in compliance with subsection (a), that party waives all
12objections to the court's jurisdiction over the party's person.
13    (a-6) A party filing any other pleading or motion prior to
14the filing of a motion objecting to the court's jurisdiction
15over the party's person as set forth in subsection (a) waives
16all objections to the court's jurisdiction over the party's
17person, both prospectively and retroactively, unless the
18initial motion filed is one of the following:
19        (1) A motion for an extension of time to answer or
20    otherwise plead.
21        (2) A motion filed under Section 2-1301, 2-1401, or
22    2-1401.1.
23Any motion objecting to the court's jurisdiction over the
24party's person as set forth in subsection (a) shall be filed
25within 60 days of the court's order disposing of the initial
26motion filed under Section 2-1301, 2-1401, or 2-1401.1. Nothing

 

 

10000HB0188ham002- 3 -LRB100 03354 KTG 25348 a

1in this subsection precludes a party from filing a motion under
2subsection (a) combined with a motion under Section 2-1301,
32-1401, or 2-1401.1. If such a combined motion is filed, any
4objection to the court's jurisdiction over the party's person
5is not waived.
6    (b) In disposing of a motion objecting to the court's
7jurisdiction over the person of the objecting party, the court
8shall consider all matters apparent from the papers on file in
9the case, affidavits submitted by any party, and any evidence
10adduced upon contested issues of fact. The court shall enter an
11appropriate order sustaining or overruling the objection. No
12determination of any issue of fact in connection with the
13objection is a determination of the merits of the case or any
14aspect thereof. A decision adverse to the objector does not
15preclude the objector from making any motion or defense which
16he or she might otherwise have made.
17    (c) Error in ruling against the objecting party on the
18objection is waived by the party's taking part in further
19proceedings unless the objection is on the ground that the
20party is not amenable to process issued by a court of this
21State.
