I am a defendant in a small claims case in Illinois
When I submitted my answer in the last month I denied all claims. I was suppose to show up to court next week for the case/trial. The plaintiff earlier this week filed a motion to dismiss without prejudice.
I know this means they have the choice to refile or amend things and bring it back. I paid for the filing fees the first time and hoping to avoid the run around. Trying to find out what my next steps are. I do not have representation or trying to get any at this time since I don't think the plaintiff has a case at all.
Am I able to file a motion to dismiss with prejudice? Am I able to file something to get my filing answer fees back? Or do I just wait and see if they re-file down the road and same process happens again.
