dismissal with prejudice

A dismissal, usu. after an adjudication on the merits, barring the plaintiff from prosecuting any later lawsuit on the same claim.

• If, after a dismissal with prejudice, the plaintiff files a later suit on the same claim, the defendant in the later suit can assert the defense of res judicata (claim preclusion). See RES JUDICATA. [Cases: Federal Civil Procedure 1713, 1837.1; Pretrial Procedure 690. C.J.S. Dismissal and Nonsuit § 80.]
