FAQ
When a court dismisses a lawsuit with prejudice, it marks the end of that claim for both the plaintiff and defendant. The plaintiff can neither bring the case back to the court nor take it to a higher court. On the other hand, a nonsuit without prejudice refers to temporarily dismissing a lawsuit by the plaintiff.
In the formal legal world, a court case that is dismissed with prejudice means that it is dismissed permanently. A case dismissed with prejudice is over and done with, once and for all, and can't be brought back to court.
In more modern parlance, this type of motion is known as a "motion of dismissal". A few code pleading states, such as California and Pennsylvania, still use the term "nonsuit" to refer to an involuntary or compulsory nonsuit which is granted at the request of an opponent.
When a court dismisses a lawsuit with prejudice, it marks the end of that claim for both the plaintiff and defendant. The plaintiff can neither bring the case back to the court nor take it to a higher court. On the other hand, a nonsuit without prejudice refers to temporarily dismissing a lawsuit by the plaintiff.
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.
Dismissal without prejudice means that the judge dismissed the plaintiff's or prosecutor's case without damaging their right to have their matter heard in court later. A prosecutor may ask to withdraw the case against a person to have more time to make a case stronger, find more evidence or question other witnesses.
Communications marked as 'without prejudice' cannot be used by the other party as evidence in court. This means that parties can speak openly about the matters in dispute without the risk of the other party using that information against them later.
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.
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.
Fortunately, in Arizona, there are time limits for re-filing misdemeanor charges after dismissal without prejudice. The state has up to one year from the date of the offense or six months from the date of dismissal, whichever is longer, to re-file the charges.
