Definition of "Summary proceeding"
Sheila Allaire, Real Estate Agent
Exit King Realty
Way to obtain a faster decision in a legal case than going to a trial. Procedural rules are followed so there is less time involved in gathering the effects of the dispute and in questioning. Many landlord- tenant contracts provide for the controversy to be settled through the summary proceeding instead of the court trial.
