In any justice court in Arizona, what does the term "dismissed with prejudice" mean?

Answer 1

Kim-that's the best result you can get if you're a defendant and the worst if you're the plaintiff. "Dismissed with Prejudice" means that issue/case is over forever and can never be re-filed under the same set of facts.

Answer 2

it means dismissed permanently. Sometimes charges are dismissed 'without prejudice'. That's most frequently when the judge rules there isn't enough evidence. If the police find new evidence, then the charges can be made again. Dismissal with prejudice means that the charges are gone and can't be made again.

Answer 3

I AGREE WITH YOUR COMMENT. DISAGREE WITH OBAMA'S GRAND DESIGN. Even if it "open to adjustment" which is the newspeak for changing to fit the circumstances. I will attempt to read the IBD piece. The "Universal National Service" suggestion is a repulsive term that hearken back to 1930s Germany. I am not here to help the government. I feel my first obligation is to my family. Compliance with the government mandates should be minimal to meet legal compliance. I am not interested in "helping" people who were smart enough to start a family at age 18. What did they think was going to be the outcome?

Answer 4

A final and binding decision by a judge about a legal matter that prevents further pursuit of the same matter in any court. When a judge makes such a decision, he dismisses the matter "with prejudice."

Answer 5

That means the case of the same nature can no longer be re-filed.

Answer 6

It means the white D.A. is p*ssed there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute another minority.

Answer 7

Actually in Oregon (and etemologically) that goes in your favor. In other words, no judgement was entered because no case took place. Something like that.
