Best Answer

Dismissed - no. If you WIN a civil case, you can ask for costs. If you settle, you WILL ask for costs.

Added: If you wish to have your legal expenses paid by the losing side, that must be made part of the original suit so that it can be included in the decision. If you failed to do so, you wll have to file another, seperate, lawsuit to recover your expenses.

What does the legal term with prejudice mean?

It can have several meanings depending on the context and the phraseology of the sentence in which it is contained. Give the fully worded example please.

It's not dismissed forever.If the case was dismissed without prejudice, a plaintiff could resurrect it, if, for instance, there was some new evidence. But, "with prejudice" means the court is closing the case permanently.
