Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Michigan
I was sued for overmileage on a lease vehicle. The plaintiff has no proof (with a end of lease odometer reading signed by me) to prove that the mileage was put on the vehicle by me. The Plaintiff sent me a "stipulation to dismiss" but it is without prejudice. Must I agree to this before my court date? Can I go to court and argue that I want the case dismissed with prejudice since they have no proof and will never have the proof. thank you...

Must I agree to this before my court date? No.
Can I go to court and argue that I want the case dismissed with prejudice since they have no proof and will never have the proof. Yes, BUT I wouldn't waste your time to do it. Starting up another case would be a waste of time and money for the amount involved - assuming the plaintiff has any common sense.
