FAQ

When a small claims case is dismissed, the court terminates the case without a trial and prior to the case's completion. A dismissal, in effect, denies the plaintiff's claim to the money requested in the Small Claims Complaint (or a counterclaim), even though the merits of the case have never been heard by the court.

A dismissed case means that a lawsuit is closed with no finding of guilt and no conviction for the defendant in a criminal case by a court of law. Even though the defendant was not convicted, a dismissed case does not prove that the defendant is factually innocent for the crime for which he or she was arrested.
