1. ““Such a judgment is only available when there is no genuine issue of fact presented. Moreover, such judgment is granted only where there is certainty plaintiff is not entitled to relief under any stated facts which may be proved in support of such plaintiff’s claim. Plaintiff here alleges an oral agreement to pay her not only salary but a percentage of profits. She claims she was dismissed without justification. These present factual issues. Any doubt as to existence of a material fact issue must be decided against the party moving for summary judgment. “Summary judgment is denied. A full trial will better bring out the disputed facts "as to plaintiff’s employment, its tenure, and what happened between the parties.” (Emphasis supplied.)”
