1171 A defendant moving for summary judgment can meet its initial burden either by offering affirmative evidence negating one or more elements of plaintiff's case, or by showing that plaintiff's responses to interrogatories asking for all facts supporting plaintiffs cause of action were factually devoid as to one or more elements, thus shifting to plaintiff the burden of showing that triable issues of fact exist.CitationBRANTLEY v PISARO (Detached Handrail) 42 CA4 1591 [See: Barnes v Blue Haven 1 CA3 123; CCP 437c; Union Bank v Superior Court 31 CA4 573, T/AT 2/95; FSR v Superior Court 35 CA4 69, T/AT 7/95]
