dismissed without prejudice

Read a random definition: tangible property

A quick definition of dismissed without prejudice:

Dismissed without prejudice: When a case is dismissed without prejudice, it means that the plaintiff can file the same lawsuit again on the same claim. This happens when a case is removed from the court's docket.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: When a case is dismissed without prejudice, it means that the plaintiff (the person who filed the lawsuit) can refile the same case on the same claim. The case is removed from the court's docket, but the plaintiff has the option to bring it back to court.

Example: John filed a lawsuit against his former employer for wrongful termination. However, the case was dismissed without prejudice because John's lawyer failed to submit some important documents. This means that John can refile the same lawsuit with the correct documents.

Another example: Sarah filed a lawsuit against her landlord for not fixing a leak in her apartment. The case was dismissed without prejudice because Sarah did not show up to court on the scheduled date. This means that Sarah can refile the same lawsuit and appear in court on the new date.

These examples illustrate how a case can be dismissed without prejudice, giving the plaintiff the opportunity to correct any mistakes or issues and bring the case back to court.
