Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cruise should file a motion for summary judgment because they are claiming that there is no genuine dispute over the material facts of the case and that they are entitled to judgment as a matter of law. This motion can be supported with witnesses' sworn statements. A summons and complaint are the initial pleadings that start a lawsuit, while a motion to dismiss would be filed if Cruise believed that Beth's complaint failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted.
