"Dismiss to leave to refile" is a legal term indicating that a court has dismissed a case but allows the plaintiff the opportunity to refile it in the future. This often occurs when there are procedural issues or deficiencies in the original filing that can be corrected. It essentially gives the plaintiff a second chance to pursue their claims without prejudice, meaning the dismissal does not affect the merits of the case.

In legal terms, "dismissed by leave" typically refers to a situation where a case is dismissed at the request of the party with permission from the court. Whether there is a statute of limitations that applies depends on the specific claims involved and the jurisdiction in question.

However, if it is dismissed with prejudice, the statute of limitations would not apply as the case cannot be refiled.
"Case dismissed not on the merits" means that a court has dismissed a case for reasons other than the substantive issues of the case itself. This could occur due to procedural issues, lack of jurisdiction, or other technicalities that prevent the court from addressing the actual claims.

Typically, the plaintiff may still have the opportunity to refile the case if the underlying issues are resolved.
