Rule XXII

Rule XXII typically refers to a provision within the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure related to motions for summary judgment. In simple terms, it means that if one party believes there’s no real dispute over the facts and they are entitled to win under the law, they can ask the court to decide the case without going to trial. The party must show that there’s no genuine issue needing a trial, and that they are entitled to a judgment based on the available evidence. This rule helps resolve cases efficiently when there’s a clear legal point or uncontested facts.
