The short answer is to get the case dismissed so it can be refiled.
It means the case was closed, or dismissed. Usually this happens due to the petitioner failing to appear, or the alotted time required for the petitoner to complete an action has been exceeded. The matter can be refiled, though.
No, a judge cannot accept a complaint for an Adversary Action once a bankruptcy has been discharged. Once a bankruptcy has been discharged, the case is typically considered closed and any further legal actions must be pursued in a separate lawsuit outside of the bankruptcy process.
Until a judge refuses to allow the suit to be refiled. If a case is dismissed without prejudice regardless of what that case might be about it can be refiled as many times as necessary.
The case, that you asked for, has been completed and resolved.
After a dismissal without prejudice, the case can be refiled and the same claims brought again. The reasons for dismissal without prejudice may include procedural errors or faults that can be corrected in a subsequent filing.
If you are referring to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you are stuck with debts incurred after filing the bankruptcy unless your case is dismissed without a discharge and later refiled. In a Chapter 13 case, sometimes post petition debts can be paid through plan or the debts can be covered if you voluntarily dismiss the case and refile or convert it to a Chapter 7. In the case of a conversion to a Chapter 7, it would cover all debts up to the date of the conversion. The reform laws that went into effect in October 2005 contain much stricter rules on cases where a bankruptcy has been dismissed and refiled to prevent "serial" filers. Before making a decison, you must consult a local bankruptcy attorney to decide if dismiss your case and refiling is a valid option for your circumstance. Finally, Chapter 7 cases are very difficult to dismiss voluntarily.
When a case is dismissed without prejudice, it means that the case is closed but can be refiled in the future. Prior orders issued by the judge generally remain in effect unless specifically vacated or modified in the dismissal order. However, the dismissal itself does not nullify those orders; they simply apply to the case as it stood before dismissal. If the case is refiled, the new case may be subject to different orders or rulings.
Dismissal with prejudice in a foreclosure case means that the case has been resolved in a way that bars the plaintiff from bringing the case back to court at a later date. This usually indicates that the court has made a final decision regarding the foreclosure action, and it cannot be refiled.
The attorney or the party whose case is dismissed will be able to make a motion to reinstate the case. This would have been a procedural dismissal and would likely have been made without prejudice to being refiled or reinstated. If the absence had been due to some type of excusable neglect or unavoidable circumstances, the court will probably reinstate the case. If the attorney deliberately without excuse missed the court date, the party might still get the case reinstated if the court is convinced a dismissal would be an injustice to the party if through no fault of his own the case had been dismissed. Depending on all the circumstances, it is certainly possible that the dismissal could be final. In that case, the party would have to appeal the trial court's dismissal to get it reversed.
A Notice of Nonsuit is the termination of a legal action. An example of this type of notice would be if a plaintiff fails to pursue or abandons the suit; a judgment would be granted against the plaintiff in this case. In a nonsuit case ruling, there is a dismissal of the case. It can be done with or without prejudice. If done with prejudice, it means the case cannot be refiled. If done without prejudice, it can be refiled later on. In Texas, there is a form that is filled out and submitted to the court.
Generally, a person cannot be subpoenaed to a case that has already been dismissed, as there is no active legal proceeding requiring their testimony or documents. However, if new evidence arises or if the case is refiled, a subpoena could potentially be issued at that time. Additionally, if the dismissal was without prejudice, the case could be reopened, which might lead to a subpoena. Always consult with a legal expert for specific situations.
