What To Look For When Opposing Or Defending The Motion To Dismiss

defending the motion to dismiss

A motion to dismiss asks or “moves” a judge to end a case because of deficient claims, improper service of summons, or for some other procedural error. A motion to dismiss will result in (1) a denial of the motion, (2) a dismissal “without prejudice”, allowing the plaintiff to amend the complaint, or (3) a dismissal “with prejudice”, which ends the case. “I didn’t do it” does not satisfy the requirements of a motion to dismiss for the defendant, and a simple “I did it right” might not suffice to keep a complaint afloat. Learn what to look for and address what matters in a motion to dismiss.
