The former disallows and bars the refiling of the complaint; whereas, the same cannot be said of a dismissal without prejudice. Likewise, where the law permits, a dismissal with prejudice is subject to the right of appeal.
As to remedy, in dismissal with prejudice, the remedy is an appeal; in dismissal without prejudice, the remedy is to refile, unless the order dismissing without prejudice may be the subject of an appropriate special civil action under Rule 65, provided that the requirements for a Rule 65 petition are present.

For example, an arrest without probable cause, violation of the right to a speedy trial, or an illegal search can lead to a case being dismissed with prejudice. Other errors in a case also may lead a court to dismiss a case with prejudice.
