Dismissal without Prejudice

Dismissal without prejudice is a legal term meaning a case is dismissed but can be restarted or refiled in the future. It allows a plaintiff to correct issues or gather more evidence without losing the right to pursue the claim later. Essentially, the case isn’t over permanently; the plaintiff has the opportunity to address problems and bring the case again if they choose. This type of dismissal provides flexibility, unlike "with prejudice," which permanently ends the case.
