An application for summary judgment allows a party to obtain a court decision on a claim without a full trial. This process aims to achieve swift resolutions, minimise unnecessary litigation<\/a>, and reduce costs. In this article, we discuss the key factors in successfully making an application for summary judgment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los motivos del juicio sumario<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Puede solicitarse un juicio sumario contra el demandante o contra el demandado sobre la totalidad de la demanda o sobre una cuesti\u00f3n espec\u00edfica si el tribunal considera que: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. La parte no tiene posibilidades reales de que prospere la demanda, la defensa o la cuesti\u00f3n; y\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. No hay ninguna otra raz\u00f3n de peso para que el asunto o el caso lleguen a juicio.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Establecimiento del terreno<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      To determine whether a party has no realistic chance of succeeding on the claim, defence, or issue, the court will<\/a> assess whether the respondent\u2019s case, as pleaded, has any genuine prospect of success<\/a>. The respondent does not need to prove that they will succeed at trial; rather, the applicant must show that the respondent\u2019s case lacks substance and that there is no other justification for a trial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Therefore, if the respondent to an application for a summary judgment can show that it has a realistic chance of succeeding at trial by highlighting that the claim, defence or issue (as applicable) is neither without substance nor contradicted by all the documents<\/a> on which it relies, it can defeat an application for summary judgment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In situations where the respondent cannot demonstrate a real prospect of success on the claim, defence, or issue, they may still be able to defeat an application for a summary judgment. An example of a compelling reason for a trial is that a respondent may need more time to investigate the claim, and such investigation might provide it with a real prospect of success at trial. For instance, a respondent may need more time to contact<\/a> a witness who will provide substantive material in apoyo<\/a> of their position or simply requires more time to review key documents.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u00bfCu\u00e1ndo puede solicitarse un juicio sumario?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Un demandado puede solicitar un juicio sumario en cualquier momento del procedimiento. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      A claimant, however, can only apply for summary judgment after the defendant has filed an acknowledgment of service or a defence, unless the court grants permission<\/a> or a rule or practice direction allows otherwise. Typically, a claimant\u2019s application for summary judgment is made before or at the time of filing the directions questionnaire<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Sin embargo, hay tres situaciones en las que un demandante puede solicitar un juicio sumario en cualquier momento despu\u00e9s de que se haya notificado el formulario de demanda (a menos que se indique lo contrario en una norma o instrucci\u00f3n pr\u00e1ctica). Estas situaciones son: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
