Notice of Petitions Filed for Relief From, or Revival of, Judgments

Notice of the filing of a petition under section 2-1401, section 2-1601 or section 12-183(g) of the Code of Civil Procedure shall be given by the same methods provided in Rule 105 for the giving of notice of additional relief to parties in default. Amended effective July 1, 1971; amended May 28, 1982, effective July 1, 1982; amended July 1, 1985, effective August 1, 1985. Committee Comments (Revised July 1, 1985) This is former Rule 7-2, as it existed prior to 1964, without change of substance. In 1971, it was amended to insert cross-references to section 72 of the Civil Practice Act and Rule 105. This rule was amended in 1985 to provide a specific requirement for notice in both revival-of-judgment proceedings and release-of-judgment proceedings, as well as in cases involving petitions seeking relief from certain final judgments.
