A precedent or case laws can be defined as decisions made by judges in various courts that later became rule of law and applied to future cases. However, precedents are not enacted by law, but judges refer precedents while giving judgements for other court cases.
Summary judgment can be defined as a legal term for court decision in a lawsuit in response to a motion that pleaded that there is no basis of trial due to absence of any genuine issue of material fact.
The motion for summary judgment stated that as a matter of law one party is entitled to win. Only civil cases are applicable for summary judgment.
