Standard of Review-Summary Judgment
(Walt Disney)

DISCUSSION

1.         Standard of Review

On appeal from a summary judgment, we make “an independent assessment of the correctness of the trial court’s ruling, applying the same legal standard as the trial court in determining whether there are any genuine issues of material fact or whether the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.  [Citations.]”  (Iverson v. Muroc Unified School Dist. (1995) 32 Cal.App.4th 218, 222.)  In our review, we strictly construe the moving party’s evidence and liberally construe the opposing party’s, accepting as undisputed only those portions of the moving party’s evidence that are uncontradicted.  “Only when the inferences are indisputable may the court decide the issues as a matter of law.  If the evidence is in conflict, the factual issues must be resolved by trial.  ‘Any doubts about the propriety of summary judgment . . . are generally resolved against granting the motion, because that allows the future development of the case and avoids errors.’  [Citation.]”  (Binder v. Aetna Life Ins. Co. (1999) 75 Cal.App.4th 832, 839.)

The trial court properly found no triable issues of material fact; none of the parties assert that such issues exist.  The questions before this court are questions of law. Long v. Walt Disney Co. B164750 Mar 09 2004
