How To Defend Against A Summary Judgment Motion
From George Vetter’s book, “ Successful Civil Litigation,” quoted in Steven Stark’s book, “Writing to Win”:
- Demonstrate an issue of fact.
- Expose the invalidity of materials supporting the other side’s motion (for example, mistakes in the affidavit).
- Illustrate how the case hinges on something else that needs to be assessed, such as credibility.
- Show the moving party’s exclusive control of the facts.
