Summary Judgment Application – Fixed Fee Support

If you need to apply for summary judgment, or you are responding to a summary judgment application made against you, I can prepare the application and supporting evidence on a fixed-fee basis.

Why people instruct me for summary judgment applications

  • Fixed-fee clarity

  • Full preparation of the N244 application

  • Supporting witness statement drafted for you

  • Clear advice on CPR 24 and the legal tests

  • Strong written submissions where required

  • Optional representation at the hearing

What a summary judgment application is

Summary judgment allows the court to decide a claim or defence without a trial where:

  • a party has no real prospect of succeeding or defending, and

  • there is no compelling reason for the case to proceed to trial.

These applications are governed by CPR 24, and the court expects a clear legal and evidential basis for the application or the response. A successful application requires a detailed statement of facts, properly drafted legal submissions and evidence supporting the points relied upon.

If you are responding to a summary judgment application, the court will expect you to show that your case has a real prospect of success or that the case should proceed to trial.

I prepare the application, draft your evidence, advise on prospects and submit clear written argument to support your position.
