In a legal or professional context, sending something back “with prejudice” means permanently rejecting it with a final, unalterable decision. [1, 2]

The most common and exact alternatives to “with prejudice” vary depending on the specific situation.

Legal Context (Lawsuits & Settlements)

• With prejudice: Permanently dismisses a claim, barring it from ever being brought to court again.
• Permanent dismissal: The court action is final.
• Adjudicated on the merits: The court has made a final determination on the substance of the claim.
• Barred from refiling: Legally stops the plaintiff from bringing the same case back. [1, 2]

Professional & Business Context (Proposals, Bids, or Claims)

• Denied with finality: The rejection is complete, and no further appeals or negotiations will be accepted.
• Permanently rejected: A definitive refusal that cannot be undone.
• Closed with no further action: The file is permanently shut.
• Declined outright: An immediate, permanent refusal.
• Killed the deal: An informal way to describe ending negotiations for good.

Note: If you meant the opposite—sending something back without prejudice (allowing the sender to revise and resubmit without penalty)—the best phrases include “rejected for revision,” “returned for amendments,” or “declined pending resubmission.”
