We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Is a summary judgement good or bad?

A summary judgement is all evidence points to you winning. A default is we dont really know because they never showed up. End result is the same, but summary is better and more likely to be granted if the court is already endlessly continuing the case.

What does it mean when a summary judgement is granted?

The Court grants summary judgment when there is no material issue of fact and it is required to enter judgment as a matter of law. A genuine issue of material fact exists when facts related to the specific legal claim are in dispute or when undisputed facts support different outcomes on an issue.

What is the next step after a summary judgement?

If the judge grants the summary, the case concludes, and a summary judgment is ordered. The non-moving party may accept or appeal the outcome for another hearing. If the motion is denied, the court schedules a trial date. If certain material facts are still disputed, then those are deliberated at a trial.

Is it hard to win summary judgment?

Yes. Judges can deny summary judgment with a decision on the margin, but to grant summary judgment they have to issue a written decision. Therefore, to win on summary judgment you have to convince a judge that it is a good use of his or her very limited time and resources to write the decision.

What does it mean when a defendant files for summary judgment?

Summary judgment procedure is a method for promptly disposing of actions in which there is no genuine issue as to any material fact.

What does it mean if you win a summary judgment?

A procedure by which a court may decide a claim or a particular issue without a trial, if it considers that one or other party has no real prospect of succeeding on or successfully defending the claim or issue and there is no other compelling reason why the claim or issue should proceed to a trial.
