JurisdictionUnited Kingdom
CourtJudicial Committee of the Privy Council (on appeal from the Court of Appeal of Jamaica)
Year2018
StatusPersuasive authority

Key Principle

Where a claimant seeks summary judgment and the defendant denies the claimant's case on the facts but advances its own version of facts which, even if proved, would still entitle the claimant to relief, the court should grant summary judgment rather than direct a trial; a defendant cannot defeat summary judgment by raising a factual dispute (here an allegation of forgery) that is immaterial to the claimant's entitlement.
