EXAMPLE: Dale erects a structure on his property that almost completely blocks the sun from the pool area that his neighbor just built, and the neighbor sues Dale to remove the structure. Dale and the neighbor agree on that set of facts. The only question is whether Dale may do as he wants, which in his instance is a question of law. Both parties, therefore, seek a summary judgment supporting their respective positions.Source: Barron's Dictionary of Legal Terms, Steven H. Gifis, 5th Edition; ©see directed verdict
