FAQ
If a Motion to Dismiss is granted on all claims, the case is ended, and the defendant wins. A case can be dismissed "with prejudice" or "without prejudice." When a case is dismissed with prejudice, it means the plaintiff cannot file the same case against the same defendant again.

There are two types of Motions to Dismiss in Illinois: 2-6151 Motions and 2-6192 Motions. While each Motion seeks the same relief– the dismissal of the Petitioner's pleading– they are filed for different reasons.
The court may grant a motion to dismiss if the plaintiff's complaint fails to allege all the elements of a claim adequately. Or the court may grant it if the complaint fails to allege a measurable injury.
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.
