Substantially insufficient in law means that a complaint can be dismissed or stricken because the laws the suit was based upon do not support the action based on the facts presented. See: Super Liquors, Inc. v. Illinois Liquor Control Com'n, 446 N.E.2d 945, 113 Ill.App.3d 229, 68 Ill.Dec. 774 (Ill.App. 3 Dist., 1983).

If all of the facts viewed in a light most favorable to the non-moving party are not sufficient to make a case based on the applicable laws, then the case would be dismissed, this is the standard for the court to dismiss on summary judgment. The 2-615 motion to dismiss means that even if the facts are presumed true, the law still does not support an action or count in the action.
