Is a dismissal of judgment different that a vacated judgment?

In: Law & Legal Issues, Credit Reports, Civil Lawsuits [Edit categories]

Answer:

No. A "vacated" judgment means that the court considers that the judgment never took place - is vacated - is rendered null and void. A "dismissed" judgment can be done two ways - "with prejudice" and "without prejudice." "Dismissed WITH prejudice" means that even if the facts presented are true the case is over and cannot be re-tried. "WITHOUT prejudice" means the same, EXCEPT, that the charges CAN be re-filed and the case re-tried.
