What is dismissal by technicality?

Dismissal by technicality refers to a legal situation where a case is dismissed not based on the merits of the case but due to procedural errors, technical violations, or failure to meet specific legal requirements. This can occur when a party fails to follow proper legal protocols, such as filing deadlines or jurisdictional issues. While it may prevent a case from being heard, it does not address the underlying issues of the case itself. Dismissal by technicality can sometimes lead to concerns about justice being served.
