Text: We review a grant of summary judgment, whether the action be at law or equity, for correction of errors at law. Keokuk Junction Ry. v. IES Indus., Inc., 618 N.W.2d 352, 355 (Iowa 2000). Summary judgment is appropriate when, after review of the entire record, there is no genuine issue of material fact. Id. The scope of review in actions for abuse of process is likewise limited to correction of errors at law. Royce v. Hoening, 423 N.W.2d 198, 200 (Iowa 1988). On appeal, we are bound by the trial court's findings of fact if supported by substantial evidence. Collins Trust v. Allamakee County Bd. of Supervisors, 599 N.W.2d 460, 463 (Iowa 1999).
