Catrett (Mark)

Catrett (Mark) refers to a legal case involving the rules for granting summary judgment, a process where courts decide a case without a full trial if there's no significant disagreement over the facts. The decision emphasizes that courts should review all evidence carefully to determine if there's a genuine issue for trial. If the evidence shows that one side is clearly entitled to win, the court can dismiss the case early. This case helps clarify how to properly evaluate evidence when deciding whether a case can be resolved without a lengthy trial.
