Summary Judgment

Sinochen International Oil (London) Co Ltd v Mobil Sales and Supply Co QB Com Ct [2001] All ER(D) 329

Although on an application for summary judgment the court should not conduct a mini-trial and dismiss the application where there is witness evidence in opposition, if that evidence is inherently improbable, that might demonstrate the defence had no reasonable prospect of success and that the action should not be allowed to proceed to trial.
