A case dismissed with prejudice is over and done with, once and for all, and can't be brought back to court. A case dismissed without prejudice means the opposite.
When a court dismisses an action, they can either do so “with prejudice” or “without prejudice.” Dismissal with prejudice means that the plaintiff cannot refile the same claim again in that court.
Whereas a case that is dismissed “with prejudice” is dismissed permanently, a case that is dismissed “without prejudice” is only dismissed temporarily. This temporary dismissal means that the plaintiff is allowed to re-file charges, alter the claim, or bring the case to another court.
Prejudice is usually a high sanction by the court. If the court dismisses the case with prejudice, it means the plaintiff will be barred from bringing this claim ever again. Thus, court will only issue a dismissal with prejudice in certain situations.
Within legal civil procedure, prejudice is a loss or injury, and refers specifically to a formal determination against a claimed legal right or cause of action. Thus, in a civil case, dismissal without prejudice is a dismissal that allows for re-filing of the case in the future.
The employee might want to resign or feel they have to leave when facing a disciplinary. This could lead to the employee later claiming constructive dismissal at an employment tribunal. They can only do this if they have worked for the organisation for 2 years or more.
It is a common misconception that an employee's notice of resignation is not valid unless it has been "accepted" by the employer. The position at common law is that a notice, once validly given, is effective and can neither be "refused" by the employer or "withdrawn" by the employee, without the other's agreement.
Mutual Agreement: If both the employer and the employee agree, a resignation may be retracted even after it has been accepted. This could happen if both parties discuss the situation and decide that continuing the employment relationship is in their best interests.
