Whereas a case that is dismissed “with prejudice” is dismissed permanently, a case that is dismissed “without prejudice” is only dismissed temporarily. This temporary dismissal means that the plaintiff is allowed to re-file charges, alter the claim, or bring the case to another court.

District Courts may dismiss with prejudice where the plaintiff acted irresponsibly or in bad faith, or where rehearing the claim would burden the court system.

Dismissal without prejudice is a legal term indicating that charges have been dismissed but can be refiled at some point. Charges may be dismissed without prejudice at the prosecutor's request, or they may be dismissed at the judge's discretion.

Some reasons to ask for a dismissal without prejudice include new facts that have emerged that necessitate a change to the criminal charges or that new defendants will be added to the case. Perhaps the prosecutor wants to refile the case with less or more severe criminal charges or file a case in a different court.

A case dismissed with prejudice is over and done with, once and for all, and can't be brought back to court. A case dismissed without prejudice means the opposite. It's not dismissed forever. The person whose case it is can try again.

Whether your case was dismissed with or without prejudice can also affect your ability to expunge the case and have it removed from your criminal history. Many prosecutors will object to an expungement if the statute of limitations has not expired, making it more difficult to expunge these cases.

The dismissal ``without prejudice'' does not mean that you won the issue regarding the debt. It just means that the creditor stopped fighting in court without conceding that you won. So the dismissal ``without prejudice'' does not necessarily help your argument to remove this from your credit report.
