DAVID FAULKNER AND AMY FAULKNER v. MEGAN ELIZABETH TYLER ET AL (2023)

The law usually does not require a vain and useless act. When multiple motions for summary judgment and oppositions thereto are heard at the same hearing on the same day before the same judge it would seem to be efficient to be able to adopt exhibits by reference. I emphasize that this is not the same thing as referring to something that is merely “in the record.”

Nevertheless, I understand the sentiment to hold tight the line to prevent a return to the days of the old wild west of summary judgment procedure.

In this interlocutory context, applicant may re-urge its motion with the relevant exhibits attached.

Hughes, J., concurs.
