motion to dismiss
A motion to dismiss is a formal request made to a court by a party in a legal case, asking the judge to reject a case before it goes to trial. This usually happens when the party believes that even if all the facts presented by the other side are true, there is no legal basis for the case to proceed. Reasons for a motion to dismiss might include lack of evidence, jurisdiction issues, or an argument that the claim is legally insufficient. If granted, it effectively ends the case without a trial.

A motion to dismiss is a formal request made to a court to end a case before it goes to trial. The party filing the motion argues that, even if all the facts presented by the other side are true, there are legal reasons the case should not proceed. Reasons might include lack of jurisdiction, failure to state a valid claim, or expiration of the statute of limitations. If the court grants the motion, the case is dismissed; if denied, it will continue toward trial. This process helps ensure that only meritorious cases move forward in the legal system.
