dispositive motion
In law, a dispositive motion is a motion seeking a trial court order entirely disposing of one or more claims in favor of the moving party without need for further trial court proceedings. "To dispose" of a claim means to decide the claim in favor of one or another party. As a lawsuit may comprise numerous claims made by and against numerous parties, not every dispositive motion seeks to dispose of the entire lawsuit. The most common type of dispositive motions are those for summary judgment. In many cases, a decision on a dispositive motion is a prerequisite for appellate review. See, e.g., Wash. Rules of Appellate Procedure 2.2.
The two principal types of dispositive motion in contemporary American legal practice are the motion to dismiss and the motion for summary judgment. A dispositive motion may also be used to request that an indictment be dismissed or quashed, or for judgment on pleadings. At least in some jurisdictions, a corporation's motion to terminate a shareholder's derivative suit is treated as a dispositive motion. See, e.g., Dreiling v. Jain, 151 Wn.2d 900, 93 P.3d 861 (2004)

(PR) motion for early case disposal
Though dispositive motion is no doubt right, it may not mean much to an English-speaking/-reading audience on the face of it.
In Scotland, there are motions for early disposal. Maybe better to include of the case to denote it's not criminally obtained goods like narcotics being got rid of.
I believe the process also ties up with the UK summons for directions of old: a case could be disposed of at an interim stage when asking the court what further steps are needed.
