A party moving (applying)(maxwell) for summary judgment is attempting to avoid the time and expense of a trial when, in the moving party's view,(Maxwell) the outcome is obvious. Typically this is stated as, when all the evidence likely to be put forward is such that no reasonable factfinder could disagree with the moving party, summary judgment is appropriate.
But what do Maxwell have to lose by applying for summary judgement?
IF the Judge declines then maybe a settlement.
IF he approves then basically Cap-xx case over.
If you don't ask you don't find out...
