Case Dismissal Types Explained

Summary

Dismissing a case with prejudice means it is permanently closed and cannot be reopened, often due to insufficient evidence, a settlement, or improper filing. Dismissal without prejudice allows for the case to be reopened, typically due to procedural issues, the need for more evidence, or a temporary withdrawal by the plaintiff.
