Verified Affidavit in Opposition to Motion for Summary Judgment
by: Staff FALDP

If there are issues in dispute that have not been resolved then summary judgment is not appropriate.

According to law.freeadvice.com:

"Filing an Opposition to a Motion for Summary Judgment

If a motion for summary judgment is filed against you, you must file an opposition to the motion for summary judgment showing that there are issues of fact in dispute. A response must be in writing and include the same supporting documents as a motion for summary judgment. The opposition to the motion for summary judgment should also include a statement of facts showing the dispute and supporting documents.

Your response should include a supporting memorandum of points and authorities. Prior to filing your response, consult Pleadings and Practice for the appropriate format and Points and Authorities for case law supporting your position. When you file your motion or opposition to the motion for summary judgment with the court, you will need to include a proof of service verifying the date your documents were mailed to the opposing party or their attorney."

And;

Florida Rules of Civil Procedure
RULE 1.510 SUMMARY JUDGMENT

"The judgment sought shall be rendered forthwith if the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, admissions, affidavits, and other materials as would be admissible in evidence on file show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law. A summary judgment, interlocutory in character, may be rendered on the issue of liability alone although there is a genuine issue as to the amount of damages."
