Cancel Dismissal In Court

Summary

To cancel a dismissal with prejudice in a California Federal Court, file a Motion to Vacate or Set Aside Dismissal. Settlement agreements may include confidentiality clauses, but laws like California Civil Code §1670.5 and California Business and Professions Code §16600 can impact enforceability. The Silenced No More Act (SB 331) applies to workplace harassment cases, not human trafficking. For human trafficking, California Civil Code §52.5 and the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) offer protections. The TVPA focuses on victim support but doesnt address NDAs.
