What does dismissal of a case without prejudice allow?

The action cannot be brought again
The action can be brought again at another time
The case must go to trial
The defendant wins automatically

The correct answer is: The action can be brought again at another time

Choosing dismissal of a case without prejudice allows for the possibility of bringing the action again at another time. This means that the plaintiff retains the right to file a new lawsuit on the same claim or action in the future. The term "without prejudice" indicates that the dismissal does not affect the merits of the case, allowing the underlying issues to be revisited. In legal practice, this option is typically utilized when a plaintiff may need to gather more evidence, amend the complaint, or resolve certain procedural matters before re-filing. It preserves the rights of the plaintiff to pursue the case later, making it a flexible choice in the legal process.
