How the deadline works
Under Ill. S. Ct. R. 214(c), the response to the request for production is due within 28 days after service of the request. When the triggering paper is served by mail, Illinois Supreme Court Rule 12(c) adds 4 days for service by U.S. mail. A deadline landing on a weekend or court holiday moves to the next business day.
