Dismiss means to let go. If a judge dismisses a case, it means hes saying it has no merit, and is throwing it out of court. If you are dismissed from your job, it means youve been fired.
A dismissal refers to the courts decision to terminate a court case without imposing liability on the defendant. The court may dismiss a case in response to a defendants motion to dismiss or do so sua sponte.
USA View: A Dismissal of a case, signals the end of that particular legal action but not necessarily the end of the dispute, and does not typically signal winners and losers.
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 cant be brought back to court. A case dismissed without prejudice means the opposite.
When responding to a motion to dismiss, clearly address each argument raised by the defendant. Begin with a brief introduction stating your opposition, followed by factual clarifications and legal reasons why the case should proceed. Reference relevant statutes or case law if possible.
