dismissal

Read a random definition: justice

A quick definition of dismissal:

A dismissal is when a court decides to end a case without blaming the person being sued. This can happen because the person being sued asked for it, or because the court decided on its own. There are many reasons why a court might dismiss a case, like if it doesn't have the power to hear the case or if the person suing didn't follow the rules. When a case is dismissed, it can be dismissed with or without the possibility of being brought back to court again.

A more thorough explanation:

A dismissal is when a court decides to end a case without holding the defendant responsible. This can happen if the defendant asks the court to dismiss the case or if the court decides to do so on its own. The plaintiff can also choose to dismiss the case voluntarily by dropping it or reaching a settlement with the defendant.

There are many reasons why a court might dismiss a case, such as if it doesn't have the authority to hear the case, if the plaintiff didn't follow the rules, or if the plaintiff didn't have a valid claim. If a case is dismissed with prejudice, it means that the court has made a final decision on the case and the plaintiff can't file the same case again. If a case is dismissed without prejudice, it means that the plaintiff can file the same case again if they want to.

For example, if someone sues their neighbor for damaging their property, but the court finds that the plaintiff didn't follow the proper procedures for filing the lawsuit, the court might dismiss the case without prejudice. This means that the plaintiff can fix their mistakes and file the lawsuit again if they want to.
