The dismissal of the Federal Court Case was without prejudice. Here is what "Dismissal Without Prejudice" means. Based upon this type of dismissal, maybe the defendants accepted an agreement proposed by Mr Wang, or maybe, Mr Wang dictated what he wanted the defendants to do in order to avoid a more costly continuation that the defendants were sure to lose. We won't know unless the lawsuit is refiled and Mr Wang's attorney chews the defendants up and spits them out. GLTY and to all the longs.

A dismissal without prejudice is a dismissal of a legal case that permits the plaintiff to bring the claim again, unlike a dismissal with prejudice, in which the matter is considered final. There are a number of reasons for a case to be dismissed without prejudice, including on the plaintiff's request or because the judge feels that the plaintiff cannot prove the case. For defendants, it is important to be aware that this type of dismissal carries some risks because it leaves them exposed to the possibility that another case will be filed.

In legal terms, “prejudice” has to do with rights and privileges. In this case, it indicates that the privileges and rights of the plaintiff are not waived, truncated, or terminated. This allows the plaintiff to refile in the future, if this is desired. When a judge dismisses with prejudice, it indicates that the right to bring suit again on the same claim has been terminated and the dismissal is final.

Sometimes, a plaintiff will request a dismissal without prejudice to allow him to refile the case. Another reason to actively request this type of dismissal might be if the plaintiff and the defendant can reach a settlement, which would make the legal case unnecessary. Judges may also determine that there are problems with the case that merit a dismissal. Cases can be dismissed before they even start, or at any point during the presentation of the case in court.
