Definition of DWOP
Definition: DWOP (dee-wop) is an abbreviation for "dismissal for want of prosecution" under DISMISSAL (1).
Example: If a plaintiff fails to appear in court or take any action on their case for a certain period of time, the court may issue a DWOP. This means that the case is dismissed due to the plaintiff's lack of action.
The example illustrates how a DWOP is used in a legal context. It is a way for the court to dismiss a case when the plaintiff has not taken any action or failed to appear in court. This can happen if the plaintiff loses interest in the case or is unable to continue pursuing it for some reason.
