of service, in accordance with Sections 10-12
through 10-17, of the request or, if applicable,
the notice of requests for production on the
responding party or within such shorter or longer

or (3) objections to the requests for production
and the reasons therefor are filed and served
within the sixty day period.
(b) All responses: (1) shall repeat immediately
before the response the request for production
being responded to; and (2) shall state with
respect to each item or category that inspec -
tion and related activities will be permitted as
requested, unless the request or any part thereof

(c) Where a request calling for submission of
copies of documents is not objected to, the party
responding to the request shall produce those

(d) Objection by a party to certain parts of a
request shall not relieve that party of the obligation

requests for production shall file an objection in
accordance with subsection (f) of this section.
(f) A party who objects to any request or portion
of a request shall: (1) set forth the request
objected to; (2) specifically state the reasons for
the objection; and (3) state whether any responsive materials are being withheld on the basis of
the stated objection. Objections shall be governed
by the provisions of Sections 13-2 through 13-5,
signed by the attorney or self-represented party
making them and filed with the court.
(g) To the extent a party withholds any responsive material based on an assertion of a claim of

with the provisions set forth in subsection (d) of
Section 13-3.
(h) No objection may be filed with respect to

to reach an agreement. The affidavit shall set
forth: (1) the date of the objection; (2) the name
of the party who filed the objection and to whom
the objection was addressed; (3) the date, time
and place of any conference held to resolve the
differences; and (4) the names of all conference
participants. If no conference has been held, the
affidavit shall also set forth the reasons for the
failure to hold such a conference.

production is overruled, the objecting party shall
comply with the request at a time set by the judicial authority.
(k) The party serving the request or the notice
of request for production may move for an order
under Section 13-14 with respect to any failure to
respond by the party to whom the request or notice
is addressed.
