Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida
In the state of Florida civil case Rule 1.5.10 states "the judgment sought must be rendered immediately if the pleadings and summary judgment evidence on file show that there is no genuine issue a to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law." Does this mean that the judge may approve the summary judgment without a hearing?

The Judge can handle it however he/she wants. A hearing is not necessary. It is a ruling on the pleadings and affidavits which are filed.
