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

Os fundamentos para a senten\u00e7a sum\u00e1ria<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pode ser apresentado um pedido de senten\u00e7a sum\u00e1ria contra o requerente ou o requerido, relativamente \u00e0 totalidade do pedido ou a uma quest\u00e3o espec\u00edfica, se o tribunal considerar que: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. A parte n\u00e3o tem qualquer perspetiva real de sucesso relativamente \u00e0 alega\u00e7\u00e3o, \u00e0 defesa ou \u00e0 quest\u00e3o; e\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. N\u00e3o existe qualquer outra raz\u00e3o convincente para que o processo ou o caso avance para julgamento.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Estabelecer as bases<\/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 vontade<\/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 apoio<\/a> of their position or simply requires more time to review key documents.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Quando \u00e9 que se pode requerer uma senten\u00e7a sum\u00e1ria?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Um arguido pode requerer uma senten\u00e7a sum\u00e1ria em qualquer fase do processo. <\/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

      Existem, no entanto, tr\u00eas situa\u00e7\u00f5es em que o requerente pode requerer uma senten\u00e7a sum\u00e1ria a qualquer momento ap\u00f3s a notifica\u00e7\u00e3o do formul\u00e1rio de reclama\u00e7\u00e3o (salvo indica\u00e7\u00e3o em contr\u00e1rio numa regra ou orienta\u00e7\u00e3o processual). Essas situa\u00e7\u00f5es s\u00e3o: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
