Summary Proceedings
SUMMARY PROCEEDINGS
An alternative form of litigation for the prompt disposition of legal actions.
Legal proceedings are regarded as summary when they are shorter and simpler than the ordinary steps in a suit. Summary proceedings are ordinarily available for cases that require prompt action and generally involve a small number of clearcut issues.
