Summary Proceedings in Europe
Definition of Summary Proceedings
Short proceedings. Petitions, special cases, motions, and summonses, not being interlocutory proceedings in an action or suit, are instances of summary proceedings in civil cases.
In criminal cases, summary proceedings are those which may be had and concluded before a magistrate or justices of the peace, as opposed to regular proceedings by indictment or information and trial by a jury. See the Summary Jurisdiction Act, 1879
