What does "dismissed for lack of jurisdiction or prosecution without prejudice?
I received a letter from circuit court in regards to a possible forclosure. What does this mean?
Answers:
There are several legal websites that you can go to and look up the law. .but to me it sounds like you just got lucky that the ticket issued isnt allowed in the jurisdiction it was intended for.
Without prejudice means something simply that the matter at hand isnt judging you, it just is a non felony statute.
Oh gosh.. man call legal aid immediately .. you dont wanna lose your house.. sounds like a mess! hurry up
Dismissed means the case is closed -- thrown out of court.
"lack of jurisdiction or prosecution" -- means either that it was brought in the wrong court, or the person who brought it didn't follow through.
"without prejudice" -- means that the person can try again.
"Lack of jurisdiction?" Jurisdiction is the court's authority. Such authority is granted by statute. The court only has jurisdiction over types of cases and people that the statutes give them power over. (For example, small claims courts only have jurisdiction over cases involving a set amount of money or less.)
"Dismissed without prejudice?" While the case is dismissed, the party that brought the case could refile at a later time.
Lack of jurisdiction means that the case was brought in the wrong jurisdiction. without prejudice leave them the option of bringing the charges again in the right jurisdiction.
