What will happen if you do not appear in small claims court when summoned?
If you do not appear in small claims court when summoned, the judge may enter a default judgment against you, meaning the other party automatically wins their case. Additionally, you may be responsible for court costs and the judgment amount. It is important to follow court procedures and attend your scheduled appearance to present your defense.
Can someone show an example of a case where a motion for a summary judgment will be granted?
Summary judgment is granted when there is no dispute as to any of the material facts in the incident that caused the lawsuit so that, as a matter of law, one party or the other is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. In a suit on a credit card bill, if the defendant does not dispute that he is responsible for the full amount claimed by the credit card company, but just won't pay it, the plaintiff is entitled to summary judgment without having to go to trial because the defendant admits the debt. There is no genuine issue of material fact that has to be resolved by trial. Now if the defendant denies that he is responsible for all or part of the debt (for instance if the card had been stolen and charges were billed for purchases not made by the defendant but the credit card company does not believe him) there is an issue of material fact that has to be determined at a trial. The issue is did the defendant actually make the charges or not. Summary judgment cannot be granted as long as there is a genuine issue.
In litigation what's the difference between an answer and a response?
In terms of written pleadings, an Answer is the first document filed by a defendant in a lawsuit. In the answer the defendant answers or responds to each individual allegation made in the Complaint. If the defendant does not answer the complaint, the court might enter judgment against defendant. A Response is a more general category of pleadings meaning just about every type of paper that responds to some paper filed by the other party, whether it is the plaintiff or defendant. Example: The defendant files a motion to dismiss or for summary judgment or for additional discovery. The plaintiff is required to respond to the request and give reasons why the request should be denied or the court will most likely grant the relief requested. Note that the "Answer" is a responsive pleading, therefore it could be called a Response in a way. But Responses that are in answer to requests during trial like the ones above and not called Answers. The term Answer is left to describe the defendant's pleading that gives his or her answers to the allegations of the Complaint
What is a motion for summary judgment used for?
A motion for summary judgment asks the judge to dismiss the claims before the court. A moving party asks the court to assume that all of the allegations made by the plaintiff are true and even if all true asks the court to rule that no valid claim has been made by the plaintiff. For example, suppose the plaintiff sues the defendant for wearing a red tie. The defendant would admit that he wore a red tie, and ask the court to make a ruling that there is no possible recovery for the plaintiff when he defendant wears a red tie.
