Description

Plaintiff moves to have summary judgment entered against defendant in an action concerning a default on an office lease. A motion for summary judgment is a legal document filed by a party in a lawsuit, aimed at resolving the case in their favor without going to trial. In Wisconsin, this motion is governed by the Wisconsin Rules of Civil Procedure. By filing a motion for summary judgment, a party asks the court to decide the case based on the evidence presented, without the need for a trial. In Wisconsin, there are two types of motions for summary judgment: the traditional motion for summary judgment and the summary judgment on stipulated facts. The traditional motion for summary judgment is filed when the moving party believes that there are no genuine issues of material fact in dispute and that they are entitled to judgment as a matter of law. The moving party's attorney will argue that even if the court accepts all the opposing party's evidence as true, it is insufficient to establish a legal claim or a defense. To support their motion, the moving party will present affidavits, deposition transcripts, expert reports, or other relevant evidence to demonstrate that there is no genuine issue of material fact. On the other hand, a summary judgment on stipulated facts is filed when both parties agree on the material facts but dispute the legal implications. In such cases, the moving party argues that they are entitled to judgment as a matter of law based on the agreed-upon facts. The court will examine the stipulated facts and determine the appropriate legal resolution. The Wisconsin Rules of Civil Procedure require the moving party to serve the motion on the opposing party, along with a statement of material facts as to which they believe there is no genuine issue. The opposing party then has an opportunity to respond, either by admitting the facts, denying them, or raising additional facts they believe to be in dispute. They may also submit affidavits, expert reports, or other evidence to support their position. If there are no disputed material facts, or if the court finds that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law, summary judgment may be granted. However, if the court determines that there are genuine issues of material fact that need to be resolved, the motion will be denied, and the case will proceed to trial. In summary, a Wisconsin motion for summary judgment enables a party to request the court to rule in their favor based on the evidence presented, without the need for a trial. The traditional motion for summary judgment is filed when there are no genuine issues of material fact, while the summary judgment on stipulated facts is filed when both parties agree on the facts but disagree on the legal implications. These motions offer an efficient and effective method for resolving cases in Wisconsin's legal system.
