1. “"[u]nder Maryland law, when motions and other pleadings are considered by a trial judge, it is the substance of the pleading that governs its outcome, and not its form. In other words, the nature of a motion is determined by the relief it seeks and not by its label or caption.””

2. “Action tried without a jury. When an action has been tried without a jury, the appellate court will review the case on both the law and the evidence.
