Term · Law · MLC-T-LAW-003417

A formal entry on the record by a prosecutor or plaintiff in a civil suit, declaring that they will not prosecute the case further. This action typically results in the dismissal of the charges or the lawsuit. It differs from an acquittal, as it does not bar a new prosecution for the same offense in certain circumstances.
