CHAPTER ONE
SUMMARY: A new state law mandates that all employers must prohibit smoking on employer premises, and is responsible to enforce this law whether it be an employee, customer or client smoking the employer is always required to enforce the law that no one can smoke there.

So the proper motion to file would be the motion for a summary judgment, which by definition is; request that the court decide a case on basis of law only because there are no material issues disputed by the parties. This is true for this case as it is about a breach of contract, so there is no argument about whether or not the contract is valid, they both agree they entered but they are disputing on a specific part of it and they need a judge to make the decision on who is correct.
