nonsuited
Lawsuit legally rejected
Nonsuited describes a plaintiff whose case has been dismissed before reaching a verdict, typically because they failed to establish a legal basis for their claim or didn't appear in court.
The term is legal jargon: The plaintiff was nonsuited when she couldn't produce evidence of damages.
A nonsuit ends the case without a decision on its merits.
