What is summary judgment? Summary judgment is a way for one party to win their case without a trial. The party can ask for summary judgment for part of the case or for the whole case.
Once the summary judgement is granted, the case ends there, and neither party will have to deal with the stresses of a full trial. At times, the winning party can ask for an award of costs or attorney fees from the other party unless those terms were already established in the summary judgment.
To find out if a judgment against you has been renewed in California, you can start by checking the court records where the original judgment was issued. Judgments are public records, and you can access them through the court's website or by visiting the courthouse in person.
