Is summary judgment appropriate in a personal injury action?

Summary judgment is appropriate where there is no genuine issue requiring a trial. This will be the case where the summary judgment process provides the court with the evidence required to fairly and justly adjudicate the dispute, by allowing the court to make the necessary findings of fact and to apply the law to the facts, and where summary judgment is a timely, affordable and proportionate procedure: see Hryniak v. Mauldin, 2014 SCC 7 (CanLII), at paras. 49-50, 66, [2014] 1 S.C.R. 87.
