Within the context of a Defendant applying for summary dismissal, the Defendant mist demonstrate that it is “plain and obvious”, or “clear” or “beyond real doubt” that the action should be summarily disposed if, If this burden is met, a Plaintiff must then demonstrate a “real chance of success” to avoid summary dismissal.
