Where the determinative issues turn on construction of written documents and the pleadings contain admissions that eliminate factual disputes (the plaintiff admitted the Franchise Agreement replaced the Operator Agreement), the questions of liability under the personal guarantee and under the Franchise Agreement are pure matters of construction suitable for determination under Order 14A without a full trial; the plaintiff’s pleaded election precludes calling evidence to contradict that stance.
