A motion for summary judgment

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A motion for summary judgment must allege that there is no question of fact, meaning that all relevant facts are agreed upon or that there is no dispute as to the facts. It is a request for the court to make a decision based solely on the legal issues involved, rather than on factual disputes that would require a trial to resolve. It is not necessary to allege that there is no question of law, and evidence is typically submitted with the motion to support the argument that there is no genuine issue of material fact. The motion for summary judgment can be filed after the answer has been filed, but must be filed before the trial begins.
