2022If those threshold requirements are met, the right to dismissal under section 2-1009(a) is “subject to two qualifications,” as follows: - 27 - No. 1-21-0372 “First, where a previously filed defense motion could result in a final disposition of the cause of action if ruled upon favorably by the court, the court has the discretion to hear and decide that motion before ruling on the plaintiff’s motion for voluntary dismissal.

2022Second, “where the circumstances of the case are such that dismissal under section 2-1009 would directly conflict with a specific [supreme court rule], the terms of the rule take precedence.” Morrison v.

1995The sanctions provided in Rule 375(b) are penal in nature and should be applied only to those cases falling strictly within the terms of the rule. ( Beverly v. Reinert (1992), 239 Ill.App.3d 91, 101 , 179 Ill.Dec. 789 , 606 N.E.2d 621 .) While we believe some of the issues raised on appeal in the present case were easily resolvable, the issue of claim splitting involved an unusual procedural question.
