It would depend on the legislation of the country concerned.
Additional Answer
A rehearing is no different than the initial hearing in that it is subject to the same rules governing dismissals as the first hearing.
One example would be if a conviction were set aside by an appellate court because the trial court allowed evidence of a confession that should have been excluded. The appellate court would remand the case to the trial court for a rehearing or retrial. If the trial court felt the prosecution's case was insufficient to sustain a conviction absent the confession, it would dismiss the case on rehearing.
Another example would be if a conviction or finding of civil liability were based on a statute later declared unconstitutional, the case would be remanded to the trial court for further proceedings consistent with the declaration that the statue was void. On rehearing the court would dismiss the case.
What can be done at a rehearing depends on the purpose of the rehearing. I assume you are referring to a rehearing preceding sentencing. The judge does not overturn a guilty plea at a rehearing. The defendant requests to withdraw the guilty plea and the judge either allows it or does not allow it. Or the defendant can request to change his plea to Not Guilty at a rehearing.
noAnother View: Yes, it could be, depending on HOW the case was dismissed. If the judge dismissed the case WITH prejudice it cannot be re-opened. If it was dismissed WITHOUT prejudice it can be.However, if a criminal case is dismissed without prejudice it may not be re-opened IF the applicable statute of limitations for that crime in that situation has lapsed.
Plaintiffs do not charge. They file lawsuits. The plaintiff can always file, but if the case is dismissed with prejudice, a new filing cannot be litigated. If a case is dismissed with prejudice, it means res judicata applies, and a new filing would be dismissed because the issues have already been litigated. If the case is dismissed without prejudice, it means that it has been voluntarily dismissed or dismissed for some reason to allow the case to be refiled and re-litigated later.
It means your case is dismissed. Your case will still show up on your background report. I got my felony case expunged, but it still shows on my background as dismissed.
IF by dropped you mean the case was dismissed, the answer depends on when and why the case was dismissed.
When a case is dismissed with prejudice the State cannot refile the charges.Added: When it is dismissed WITHOUT prejudice, the charges CAN be re-filed and you can be prosecuted. Regardless of what you remember, the original case file will reflect in what manner the original case was resolved. Do the research or ask your attorney.
Case Dismissed - 1924 was released on: USA: 26 May 1924
It means that the case is dismissed because the plaintiff did not show up in court.
if the case was dismissed you were not convicted. you can truthfully answer no.
The case first has to be dismissed. Once the case has been dismissed it will be disposed of. In some cases it may not be on your record and in some cases it will say dismissed.
It should be known HOW the case was dismissed. WITHprejudice or WITHOUT prejudice.Also, having a case dismissed does not mean that the record of your arrestdisappears and ceases to exist.
If it is voluntarily dismissed by the prosecutor or the police department, the plantiff in the case CAN bring the case back to court at another time (if the second case is dismissed, you're in the clear after that.) If it was involunarily dismissed by the judge, then no.
