Voluntary Dismissal Court Case

Summary

A voluntary dismissal in a court case allows the plaintiff to withdraw their lawsuit, which can be done with or without prejudice. This means the case can potentially be refiled or permanently closed. In North Carolina, such dismissals may still appear on background checks, as court records are public and accessible. If a warrant is issued, it is typically recorded in online case records. For unpaid traffic tickets in South Carolina, failure to pay can lead to additional penalties, license suspension, or even a warrant. Checking online case records can provide information on any issued warrants. If you have concerns about your specific situation, consider contacting the court for more details or seeking legal advice.
