A Louisiana Motion To Set Summary Matter For Trial is a request from a party in a lawsuit to the court to set the case for trial. This motion is usually filed after discovery is complete and the parties are ready to move on to the trial phase of the case. The motion should include a brief description of the facts of the case and the relief sought. It should also include a request for the court to set a trial date for the case. The two types of Louisiana Motion To Set Summary Matter For Trial are a motion for summary judgment and a motion for trial on the merits. A motion for summary judgment is a request to the court to make a decision in the case without a trial. The court will grant a summary judgment if the facts of the case are not in dispute and the law supports the party filing the motion. If the court does not grant the motion, the parties will proceed to trial. A motion for trial on the merits is a request for the court to set a trial date and let the parties present evidence and arguments to the court before a decision is made.
