Consider the following five approaches: Show that the motion fails to list the specific facts and law supporting summary judgment. Show that a dispute exists on a material fact. Show that the law does not support judgment on the undisputed facts.
A motion for summary judgment asks the judge to decide on specific claims or the entire case without proceeding to a full trial. It essentially asserts that there are no disputes over material facts.
If summary judgment is denied, then the case will move forward to trial and the costs of litigation to both sides will likely increase substantially.
One of the main reasons to file a motion for summary judgment is that its usually quicker and less expensive than going to trial. A summary judgment may be appropriate if your case is relatively straightforward and the facts are undisputed.
Once the summary judgment is granted, the case ends there, and neither party will have to deal with the stresses of a full trial. At times, the winning party can ask for an award of costs or attorney fees from the other party unless those terms were already established in the summary judgment.
