Case Dismissed! ...with prejudice!
What does this mean? We showed up with all our evidence. The subcontractor did not show up. The case was dismissed but may be brought again if the Plaintiff can show good cause why did not show up the first time. However, he must pay again and resubmit his case. But in the eyes of the court he looks like an a$$ for not showing up.
We would have won anyway. We were very prepared and had every receipt and check. All the original bids, invoices and correspondence. He didn't stand a chance.
Now I can start the summer. Things only get less complicated from here on out.
