What is the test for establishing that there is no genuine issue requiring a trial?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Duhaney v. McLean-Duhaney, 2020 ONSC 6564 (CanLII):

In other words, once the moving party discharges the burden of showing that there is no genuine issue requiring a trial, the onus shifts to the responding party. That party must then provide evidence of specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue requiring a trial (Ramdial v. Davis, at para. 30).
