A summary judgment is just as enforceable as any other judgment. The only difference between a summary judgment and a judgment after a trial is that a summary judgment is granted when the court believes that a trial is unnecessary. A trial would be unnecessary if the facts of the case are either undisputed or conclusively established. Once that is shown, then the court can grant a summary judgment after a proper motion is filed.

Basically, a default judgment is something you did NOT argue about in court by filing answers to the Summons and Complaint, and the Summary Judgment is something you did argue about IN COURT.

Recourse? What do you mean by "recourse"? Do you mean what are your options?
One option is to do nothing and get a summary judgment against you by default. Not a wise move unless you have no defense to a motion for summary judgment and the moving party does not seek extreme measure from you.
You should file a motion in opposition to the motion for summary judgment, putting forth the facts and the law as to why the moving party is not entitled to the granting of a motion for summary judgment.
A motion for summary judgment is required to clearly show that given the undisputed facts in the case (facts you have admitted to as being true), the petitioner is entitled to a certain remedy in the form of judgment as a matter of law.
So, dispute the facts necessary for them to get summary judgment and dispute the application of the law that they reference as most applicable and appropriate in your case. If you successfully dispute the facts required to get summary judgment and/or you dispute the application of the law that they reference, then their motion for summary judgment will likely fail.
AnswerFortunately for you, all reasonable inferences the court must make will be decided in favor of the non-moving party (you). Keep in mind that summary judgment cannot be obtained or defeated by speculation or conjecture alone; there must be specific, concrete facts that establish the claim.If you believe that you are entitled to summary judgment, you may file a cross motion for summary judgment, which details why you are entitled to a summary judgment against the other party. In that case, you will be held to the same standard of proof as the person who is requesting summary judgment against you.

The Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment is asking the court to rule on all pleadings that have been filed in the case. This happens if one of the defendants has filed an response or answer. The Plaintiff will usually ask for judgment when filing a motion for summary judgment.

This depends on jurisdiction. In California, you file an Opposition to a Motion for Summary Judgment - which is a pleading. There are numerous procedural requirements for such a pleading, and great care needs to be taken in drafting this document, given that a Summary Judgment Motion has the potential to decide all of the claims at issue in the litigation.

You lay out the material facts and establish that there is no genuine issue of material fact and show the Court that you are entitled to judgment in your favor as a matter of law. Meaning even if all the allegations from the other side are taken as true, you win based upon the law. Summary judgment can be as to all or just part of the issues in a case. The Court will review the facts in the light most favorable to the non-moving party when deciding whether to grant summary judgment or not.

Without getting into the specifics of the bases for a summary judgment motion and a motion for dismissal (and there are many and may differ among states), they can be made simultaneously because they are not directed to the same aspect of the case. The summary judgment motion is directed to the factual aspect of the case while a motion for dismissal is directed to the procedural aspect of the case. The summary judgment motion alleges that there are no genuine issues as to the material facts of the case and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. The motion for dismissal usually alleges that the other party has failed to abide by some procedural rule, the penalty for which is dismissal of the case. Two different theories. Opposition to a summary judgment motion indirectly requires some admission that there are facts that could go one way or another at trial. A motion for dismissal will allege that the other party has not done something required by the rules like providing discovery on time, or lack of prosecution of the case. Admitting that a jury could believe either side at a trial does not give up procedural reasons to dismiss the case.

You will have to file an appropriate affidavit stating the facts that are in dispute and perhaps a brief stating the legal reasons why you feel summary judgment should not be granted. A motion for summary judgment is made by a plaintiff because it contends that it is entitled to judgment as a matter of law because, even giving you all benefits of reasonable inferences and resolving all doubts about the evidence against plaintiff from disputed facts, there are no issues of material fact to support your case. In short, if you are being sued for an unpaid debt and you cannot provide facts to show that you do not owe the debt or that for some reason plaintiff is not entitled to collect, then summary judgment will be granted against you. So your obligation is to prepare an affidavit showing the specific facts that show that plaintiff is not entitled to judgment. You may have to prepare a legal brief as well, showing, if you can find any, case law that has similar facts where a summary judgment was denied. The most important thing to show is that there are factual issues that are in dispute and would have to be resolved by a jury. Procedurally, you should check the court rules for how to file the Objection to Entry of Summary Judgment. At the least, look for these things: Does the motion for summary judgment have a specific return date for argument. How many days before the return date of the motion do you have to file your papers in opposition. File as the original and as many copies as the rule require. Send a copy of the papers you file to the attorney making the motion. Go to court on the return day of the motion. Here is a tip: It is possible to challenge part of the summary judgment. For example, assume that you cannot dispute that you owe the debt and that you really have no opposition to summary judgment on the debt itself. But plaintiff will probably seek other things as well, like interest, counsel fees and costs. Challenge the computation of those figures. You might not be able to avoid summary judgment on the debt itself but you might avoid it on the other issues. Sometimes, a plaintiff will drop claims for those other things if it gets a summary judgment on the main debt. So it pays to look at each individual item that makes up the total amount of money plaintiff is seeking. Don't think that because you can't dispute the main debt, that you can't object to the other things.

When an appellate court reverses summary judgment, it means that the court has determined that there are genuine issues of material fact that need to be decided by a jury. The appellate court has concluded that the lower court erred in granting summary judgment, which is a determination made by the court without a trial because there are no disputed facts. The case will typically be remanded back to the trial court for further proceedings or a trial on the merits.

Yes! It is well settled that the party moving for summary judgment carries the burden of establishing that there is no issue as to any material fact and that he is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Avco Fin. Servs. Of Indianapolis, Inc. v. Metro Holding Co., 563 N.E.2d 1323, 1326 (Ind. Ct. App. 1990). The moving party must fulfill these two requirements before any burden shifts to the nonmovant. Id. The nonmovant may rest upon his pleadings until the moving party establishes no genuine factual issue exists.
If the Defendant follows the Rules of Appellate Procedure and can establish such, the Judgment can be reversed and remanded.

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.

A summary judgment is a legal decision made by a judge in a civil case when no trial is necessary because there are no genuine disputes over the material facts of the case. It is typically granted when one party demonstrates that there is no need for a trial because the evidence in the case is clear and one party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.

Summary judgment is a legal term which means that a court has made a determination (a judgment) without a full trial. Such a judgment may be issued as to the merits of an entire case, or of specific issues in that case. In Common Law legal systems, issues of law, that is to say, what the law actually is in a particular case, are decided by the judge, except when jury nullification of the law acts to contravene or complement the instructions or orders of the judge, or other officers of the court. A factfinder has to decide what the facts are and apply the law. In traditional Common Law the factfinder was a jury, but in many jurisdictions the judge now acts as the factfinder as well. It is the factfinder who decides "what really happened," and it is the judge who applies the law to the facts as determined by the factfinder, whether directly or by giving instructions to the jury. Absent an award of summary judgment (or some other type of pretrial dismissal), a lawsuit will ordinarily proceed to trial, which is an opportunity for each party to present evidence in an attempt to persuade the factfinder that such party is saying "what really happened," and that, under the judge's view of applicable law, such party should prevail. For a case to get to trial, the parties have to take various steps (often known as 'discovery'), including disclosing the documents to the opponent by discovery, showing the other side the evidence, often in the form of witness statements and other steps. Complying with such directions, and going through the trial process is lengthy, can be difficult, and if one employs lawyers, can be costly. A party moving (applying) for summary judgment is attempting to eliminate its risk of losing at trial, and possibly avoid having to go through the directions by demonstrating to the judge, by sworn statements and documentary evidence, that there are no material issues of fact remaining to be tried. If there's nothing for the jury to decide, then, asks the moving party rhetorically, why have a trial? In its motion (request) for summary judgment, the moving party will also attempt to persuade the court that the undisputed material facts require judgment to be entered in favor of the moving party. In many jurisdictions, a party moving for summary judgment takes the risk that, although the judge may agree there are no material issues of fact remaining for trial, the judge may also find that it is the non-moving party who is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.

No, a motion to dismiss is not a responsive pleading. Under the federal rules, the determination of "what's a pleading" is covered by Fed. Rule of Civil Procedure 7(a). If it isn't listed in Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 7(a), it is not a "pleading" technically.
A motion to dismiss is likely under Fed. Rule 12(b), and while a Motion to Dismiss can sometimes be used prior to an answer, it technically does not enlarge the time in which to answer a suit, it nevertheless extends the deadline to answer. Rule 12 provides that if a Rule 12 motion to dismiss is denied, the responsive pleading reply period is modified to be 10 days after the Court's decision.

Any party (plaintiff, defendant, third-party plaintiff, third-party defendant, other) may file a motion for summary judgment.
Such a motion seeks to short-circuit a civil lawsuit by having the court resolve it in the movant's favor short of trial. In general, the motion seeks a determination by the court that there exists no justiciable issue of law or fact and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. The motion typically relies upon the pleadings filed to date, discovery of record (answers to interrogatories, depositions, etc.), and affidavits.

It sounds like you might be referring to a "MOTION TO suspend summary judgement." That would be a formal request to the court/judge to 'stay' the imposition of whatever sentence they were about to deliver. Such a motion is usually entered when the defense has another avenue that they'd like to explore BEFORE the final sentence is imposed.

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.
