Article 7. Motions

(a) Statement of Recovery Theory and Material Facts. Upon a motion for summary judgment pursuant to the Civil Practice Act, there shall be annexed to the motion a separate, short, and concise statement of each theory of recovery and of each of the material facts as to which the moving party contends there is no genuine issue to be tried. Each material fact shall be numbered separately and supported by a citation to evidence in the record, including a page number, paragraph number, or both, as applicable, establishing such fact.

(b) Documents with Response Brief. A party responding to a summary judgment motion shall include a separate statement with individually numbered, concise, and non-argumentative responses corresponding to each of the moving party's numbered undisputed material facts, setting forth the material facts that the non-moving party contends present a genuine issue to be tried. The non-moving party may also include a statement of additional facts that the non-moving party contends are material and present a genuine issue for trial. Each material fact shall be numbered separately and supported by a citation to evidence in the record, including a page number, paragraph number, or both, as applicable, establishing such fact.

(c) Filed Sufficiently Early. Motions for summary judgment shall be filed sufficiently early so as not to delay the trial. No trial shall be continued because of the delayed filing of a motion for summary judgment.
