A more thorough explanation: “Judgment on the merits” refers to a court decision made after considering the substantive legal issues in a case, rather than dismissing the case on procedural grounds. This type of judgment typically involves a determination of the rights and liabilities of the parties based on the facts and applicable law presented during the trial or other proceedings.
