Does this mean I can take the same case (with more proof)back to court?

With prejudice means that a party's legal rights have in fact been determined and lost. To continue the same example, if instead the court had jurisdiction, but the plaintiff did not appear for the trial, the court would dismiss the case "with prejudice". That dismissal is a judgment against the plaintiff "on the merits" of the case, and extinguishes the claim that was being sued over. However, this does not prevent an appeal or a trial de novo if ordered by a higher court.

If its dismissed with prejudice, it means that it cannot be brought back before the court. If the case was dismissed without prejudice, then you could take the case back to court if you had more proof.

"Dismissed with prejudice" means the judge has thrown the case out of court and it can NEVER be re-tried. This usually happens when a judge finds a breach of a defendant's rights that is so severe that the defendant would never be able to receive a fair trial.

No, you can't. If the case is dismissed WITH prejudice, it cannot be brought back up. To do otherwise would be double jeopardy. If it is dismissed WITHOUT prejudice, it can be brought back up.

You, like so many, have totally missed the point. Christ was saying that NOT EVEN THE RICH, with all their power and resources can enter the Kingdom of God. It is totally impossible. It is impossible for either the poor or the rich can enter the Kingdom of God. That is why the disciples were so astonished and amazed and why they asked, then who could be saved? When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? And the disciples were astonished at his words. Only by the work of God can any be saved. What is impossible to men is only possible with God. You have totally missed the point and focussed upon riches. That reveals the inclination of your mind and heart and your love of mammon and the things of this world.

It means the case may not be presented again, no matter what evidence you come forward with. Over. Finito. Out of court.

You are done/ the case is pre-judged, and can not be filed again as it is already decided.
