It is resorted to when the pleadings of the parties show that there are no genuine issues of fact to be tried; when the  facts are not in dispute. In such a case, the trial court is allowed to decide without going to trial by applying the law to the material facts. When is there no genuine issue? This is answered in this case between two big commercial banks.
