    Basically a dismissal is final and the case can't be revisited in the future (with some exceptions such as new evidence). When struck out a case can be revisited and proceeded with in the future.

    A strike out allows the prosecution to bring a new summons provided the statute of limitations allows for it.

    A dismissed case cannot be brought again as it is deemed res judicata.

    Thanks to you both! Is there a timeframe when a struck out case can proceed again and what is the procedure in doing so ?

    It depends on the kind of proceedings in question. Different cases have different time limits depending on what they are about.
