A quick definition of summary process:

Summary process is a legal procedure that helps to resolve a problem quickly and efficiently. It involves legal documents that are used to achieve this result. For example, if a tenant does not pay rent, the landlord can use summary process to repossess the property without a long court process. It is like a shortcut to solve a problem.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Summary process is a legal procedure used to resolve a controversy more efficiently and expeditiously than ordinary methods. It is an immediate process that takes effect without intermediate applications or delays. It involves legal documents that achieve such a result. It can also refer to a procedure for repossessing real property from a tenant upon default.

Examples:

  • A landlord uses summary process to evict a tenant who has defaulted on their rent payments.
  • A court uses summary process to resolve a dispute between two parties in a more efficient manner than a full trial.

The examples illustrate how summary process is used to resolve legal disputes quickly and efficiently. It is often used in situations where time is of the essence, such as in cases of eviction or when a quick resolution is needed to prevent further harm or damage.
