Dismiss
If a case is dismissed by the sheriff, it means they feel there is no case to hear.
This may happen if the landlord has requested the case be dismissed, the landlord has not followed the proper procedures to bring the client to court, or the arrears have been cleared.
If the case was dismissed because the landlord did not follow procedures correctly but the grounds for the case remain, the landlord can start legal action against the client again from the beginning. If it was dismissed for any other reason, it is the end of the case.
