What it does
(1) Existing law authorizes a party, pursuant to a specified procedure, to move for summary judgment in any action or proceeding if it is contended that the action has no merit or that there is no defense to it and to move for summary adjudication as to certain issues in the action or proceeding. Existing law provides that a motion for summary adjudication shall be granted only if it completely disposes of a cause of action, affirmative defense, claim for damages, or issue of duty.
