Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The phrases 'with prejudice’ and 'on the merits’, when used in connection with the dismissal or other disposition of a complaint, are often used interchangeably and without due appreciation of the distinction between them. This comes about because in most instances the effect is the same, namely, the party is precluded from proceeding again on the same claim. But that is not always the case. A complaint dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, or on the ground of forum non conveniens, is dismissed with prejudice. That means that the plaintiff cannot further present his claim in the courts of this state. But it is not an adjudication of the merits of his claim, and obviously is no bar to prosecution of the suit in the proper jurisdiction. In a related situation it was held that the dismissal of a third party complaint because not available in the action was properly made ‘with prejudice’ because the third party plaintiff should not be allowed to assert the claim again in that action and the inclusion of the phrase in the judgment would not prevent him from asserting the claim in an independent action in our courts (Putvin v. Buffalo Elec. Co., 5 N.Y.2d 447, 459-460 , 186 N.Y.S.2d 15, 24-26 , 158 N.E.2d 691, 697-698 ).””
