What if a closed case doesn't state with or without prejudice?

Depending upon the Rules of Civil Procedure and the governing case law of the State involved, there are a few possibilities.

1. If the case was voluntarily dismissed by the Plaintiff, the first dismissal is usually without prejudice. It can be refilled as long as the statute of limitations does not expire before the refiling.

2. If the case is closed after a determination on the merits, such as by the grant of a summary judgment, unless the ruling is appealed successfully, the closing of the file would be with prejudice.

3. If the case was closed by virtue of the court granting a motion to dismiss (usually the Plaintiff is given a chance to amend the complaint, but he may not), the same rule as in #1 above would apply.

What happens to a person who refuses to comply with a civil judgment?

They *could* be held in contempt of court, jailed, and fined.

It depends on the reason why. Let's say they had an accident that made them permanently unable to work, therefore drawing disability as their sole source of income. It wouldn't be prudent for any judge to jail them for circumstances beyond your control.

The only out to not pay a civil judgment if you are not disabled would be to file for bankruptcy.

What does it mean for a party to be required to pay costs in?

Often the losing party in a case will have to pay court costs -- i.e., various fees and expenses related to the litigation that the court system may charge (for example the cost of copying certain documents).

The foregoing answer is accurate. However, most jurisdictions have specific rules as to what costs are recoverable. Be aware that attorney's fees are not a "recoverable cost" for the prevailing party unless a statute governing the subject-matter of the action, or the contract upon which the action was based so provides.

What does it mean when the case status read CLosed?

What are the reasons you can sue a hair salon?

If they burn your hair beyond repair

If they do any scalp injury or eye injury from chemicals they use (such as bleaching)

If they don't keep the floors clean or hair swept up off the floor and you slip on it and injure yourself.

If they cut your hair and severely cut your ear or the back of your neck. This rarely if ever happens.

That's about it.

  • In the UK if you can show the hair salon or any of the hair salon employees have been negligent. Typically hair salon claims involve injuries to the hair and scalp from chemicals used. To see common types of claims and compensation amounts see the related link entitled "hair damage claim".
