    Question Dismissal in Limine and Outright Dismissal

    Could someone please explain to me what the meaning is of the above terms (in civil law), and what the difference between these terms is.

    Thank you very much.

    I suggest that you ask your lawyer in Israel to explain the difference. A U.S.-based explanation of a translation of Hebrew legal terminology could turn out to be misleading. (I hope I don't assume too much - I also see "dismissal in limine" in reference to translations from Urdu - but that wouldn't change the answer.)

    In Limine (meaning at the outset) is Latin and used frequently throughout the world where things are based on British law including the US.
    It is used as an adjective to describe something that is done before trial commences.

    Without knowing the jurisdiction (hopefully in the US) and the context, we can't really help.
