Guernsey Legal Resources

    To give summary judgment, the court must be satisfied both that there is no defence and that there are no fairly arguable points that the defendant could raise (Trinity Invs. Ltd. v. Long Port Properties Ltd., C.A., July 6th, 2001, unreported, applied). If, however, there are points it could fairly argue but there is doubt as to the way in which it has presented its case or as to its good faith, conditional leave to defend may be given (Lloyds Banking Co. v. Ogle (1876), 1 Ex. D. 262, dicta of Bramwell, B. applied).
