This basically means that the case was withdrawn for some reason, but it can be refiled at a later date. Rather than the term non-suit, the word dismissal may be used.

An important factor to consider regarding refiling the case is that it must be done within the applicable statute of limitations period. These are prescribed by statute which vary by state and vary according to the nature of the cause of action.

The lis pendens is usually filed at the beginning of the foreclosure lawsuit. If you don't answer the foreclosure complaint, a default judgment will be entered against you, and foreclosure will take place in about 90 days. If you answer the lawsuit, the foreclosure can take a year or more to occur.

Technically, yes, you could - but, the first thing any good attorney will ask is, "what are your damages?". That doesn't mean "I was emotionally scarred by finding hair in my food." Did you become ill enough to incur medical expenses, lose time at work, things like that. Humans have hair all over their bodies & no matter how clean a restaurant, these things can still happen. I can't imagine a court or judge that would appreciate this claim as a true tort & not a case of clogging the system with situations that occur on a daily basis to humans.

Yes but it would be a difficult case, you would have to build a lawsuit that established that it was in fact one of the employees hair follicles in your food, rather than your own. The hair in question must be proven to have come from Sonic and nowhere else. This could be done through means of DNA testing for example. You also have to take into consideration the damages you seek to receive, one wouldn't want to incur all the costs of filing a lawsuit and taking it to court to receive an award that amounts to the cost of the food that the hair was in.

If you are going to answer the complaint (rather than, for example, file a motion to dismiss or other pre-answer motion), you generally will want to respond to each numbered allegation of the complaint (the allegations usually appear in separately numbered paragraphs). The responses are generally "admit" or "deny" in nature, although it is usually permissible to "deny for lack of knowledge" if the circumstances dictate.

Once the admissions/denials have been made, one often assets any applicable "affirmative defenses", again, in separately numbered paragraphs. Some may include:

The plaintiff/complainant fails to state a claim against the defendant upon which relief may be granted. (Meaning the debt is not valid or at least the plaintiff has not plead it clearly).

If the defendant is indebted to the plaintiff he/she is also indebted to ....(Meaning there are other parties involved which were not named as plaintiffs).

The right of action set forth in the complaint did not accrue within the time set forth by the laws of the defendant's state. (The state's SOL for the action has expired).

It is best for the defendant who is representing themselves to respond with their own wording, as judges tend to be more lenient in Pro Se cases.

There may be other applicable affirmative defenses, but these are dictated by the basis of the cause of action being asserted by the Plaintiff. An affirmative defense is, by nature, a legal or factual "avoidance" of the claim, and to that extent differs from a mere denial of the allegation.

It is critical that the answer get filed with the Clerk within the time allowed by law (usually specified on the Summons), and that a copy get mailed or delivered to the Plaintiff or his/her/its attorney. The failure to get an answer filed when required may result in the entry of a default, such that you will be considered to have admitted the material factual allegations of the complaint.

In short it means that the case was dismissed inconclusively. There may have been missing evidence or procedural requirements not met, and therefore the case could potentially be brought before the court again by the parties involved.

It is an order issued by a judge actually dismissing the charges that were brought in the case - usually for some legal insufficiency, or lack of evidence, in the case itself. Dismissal WITHOUT Prejudice means that the charges MAY be re-instituted and brought before court again AFTER the legal insufficiency is cured.

It is usually a term used in the context of case being dismissed. The significance of it is that the Plaintiff/Prosecution retains the right to re-file the lawsuit a second time.

A case can be dismissed without prejudice by the judge (such as, if he or she grants a motion to dismiss filed by the defendant--but in such a case, the plaintiff/prosecution usually will be given the right amend the complaint (restate the allegations of the lawsuit), or it can be voluntarily dismissed altogether by the plaintiff/prosecutor. In many jurisdictions, a second voluntary dismissal by a plaintiff will preclude any subsequent refiling of the cause of action, but that is governed by local law.

Personally I do not think NPD is a factor in your friend's question. If your friend has been, and is being slandered in a way he can prove, and this is causing him actual damage that he can demonstrate your friend should consider suing. If he cannot prove it he must, sadly, refrain, because to sue and lose would make things worse. In my experience, a court order for damages, to exceed four figures, can focus even the most obtuse of minds wonderfully on the advantages of respect for one's fellow man. The only realistic risk is that in suing he will promote and perpetuate slander that would otherwise be regarded as negligable. Slander vs. Libel - you can sue for either, the question is what is the damage done, can you prove both the action and the damage, and is the dollar amount worth suing for. Slander is verbal - libel is written. Narcissists are consummate and pathological liars. It is, therefore, very difficult to expose their lies as such. Engaging with a narcissist in any way, where you hope to "gain" something, is a futile endeavour. He will always sink to depths lower than your reasonable self could muster. You will only cause yourself more anguish. The N has no boundaries, so even if you spew the vilest venom, his will be worse. When you (understandably) feel vengeful, remember there is no punishment you can inflict which is worse than the hell he puts himself through everyday. He will dig his own grave and you should just let him do it while you remain at a safe distance. I agree with the answer above. Unless your lawyer can determine an actual financial reward and good probability of success, it's absolutely not worth it. Getting involved with a narcissist for any reason often leads to more troubles. People with NPD are 6-years-old at heart, and when attacked, they will act like one: irresponsible, and will give you more headaches. By the way, if you do win the case, he/she will most likely plot a sadistic revenge on you.

If it would be likely the hair was accidentally included in your order of fries, then it is not likely you may prove malicious intent to harm you. And I must agree that it is the cost of frivilous litigation that pushes costs up for products we all enjoy when their makers are forced to defend themselves against what the court more and more frequently deems "frivolous lawsuits", on which most reasonable judges frown harshly at best and vehemently oppose at worst. My Mom and Dad always told me, "That's more protein for free!" If in fact you ingest an impurity that does not kill you, it typically makes you stronger by strengthening your auto-immune system. We are indeed a nation of opportunists.

Yes. You could sue for emotional distress! You will need to show a physical component, though, such as an ulcer.

Sorry to say, but I work at a McDonalds and I would find that pretty stupid for someone to want to sue over. Just call the main office and complain, the will fix the problem and you will probably be owed free food or a refund for something or what not.

You could get a life and stop tying up the courts and tax payers money at the same time raising the cost of products over stupid litigation.

You could sue, but for what purpose? How have you been injured? By the way, fast food companies have test labs that allow them to tell if someone planted the foreign object. Proceed at your own risk.

I have a better idea...just go to the counter and tell them you got a hair in your fries. They will replace them on the spot.

Hey, Retards..... the question wasnt

*is it morally wrong and potentially detrimental to food costs of mcdonalds if i sue them for a hair in my fry?*

it was

*Can you file a lawsuit if you get a hair in your fries at McDonalds?*

stop wasting peoples time with answers that are off topic and are matter of opinion.

The is Yes.

how did i come to this conclusion? (fact) mcdonalds was sued for someone being burned with coffee that was too hot. (fact) unclean hair can carry bacteria therefore potentially harmful.
