- sethg 16y agoYeah—as grellas says above, a ruling on summary judgement basically says “the law is so totally on this guy’s side that there’s no point to having a trial to decide what the facts are”, and all an appeals court has to do is say “umm, actually, if the facts are X or Y or Z then this guy loses, so go have a trial”. And after the trial, whichever side doesn’t like the verdict can appeal again.
