The Code of Civil Procedure (Amendment) Act, 2002, introduced the framework of summary disposal, but it was the Commercial Courts Act, 2015 \u2014 as amended in 2018 \u2014 that gave summary judgement its modern, commercial character. Order XIII-A was inserted into the CPC exclusively for suits filed before Commercial Courts, Commercial Divisions, and Commercial Appellate Divisions. The provision is modelled on the English Civil Procedure Rules (Part 24) and the Singapore Rules of Court, both of which have decades of jurisprudence on the rationale for judicial economy in commercial disputes.<\/p>
