“Without prejudice” is a legal mechanism which limits who can see particular communications. For example, if your employer makes a genuine “without prejudice” offer to you in a letter then neither party will generally be able to show that letter to a court to try and prove their case.
Rule 5.2 - Filing Requirements (1) Depositions and other original discovery material shall not be filed with the court unless or until required by the provisions of O.C.G.A.
VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL WITHOUT PREJUDICE dismisses the referenced action, without prejudice, with each party to bear his or her own costs and fees.
A case that is dismissed without prejudice can be refiled. If it is a criminal case, the prosecutor can refile the charges. If it is a civil case, the plaintiff can refile the lawsuit. In this sense, a dismissal without prejudice is only a temporary dismissal.
Involuntary Dismissal A judge may dismiss a case without prejudice in order to allow for errors in the case presented to be addressed before it is brought back to court. A judge will dismiss a case with prejudice if he or she finds reason why the case should not move forward and should be permanently closed.
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. A case dismissed without prejudice means the opposite.
The lawsuit may be refiled “either within the original applicable period of limitations or within six months after the discontinuance or dismissal, whichever is later.” O.C.G.A.
