Q: The judge ruled in favor of the defendent on a summary judgement, how do we object to that decision
A: Do you have an attorney? If so, then ask him for a more detailed explanation of this answer, however, you do not provide enough information and details to fully respond to your post. If the summary judgment completely disposed of your case, then you can either seek a motion for new trial with the trial court or you can seek a review of the ruling with the appellate court via an appeal. If the decision did not dispose of your case but was designated as a final judgment then you most likely have the same options. If the decision was not designated as a final judgment, then you might be able to seek a review of the ruling with the appellate court via a writ or you may have to wait until the case concludes----my suggestion is to speak to your lawyer about this. If you do not have a lawyer, then you need to immediate consult with a lawyer as to your options because you most likely have a limited amount of time in which you can seek redress. Good luck.
