Introduction
Summary judgment refers to a process where judgment is given in a case at an early stage, without a full litigation process and without the need for a full trial. It is confined to specific circumstances. A plaintiff can apply for summary judgment where a defendant has entered an appearance or delivered a defence. Summary judgment is most commonly granted where the defendant has no bona fide defence to the claim made by the plaintiff.
