A quick definition of frivolous suit:

A frivolous suit is a lawsuit that has no legal basis and is often filed to harass or extort money from the defendant. It is a type of legal action that is not taken seriously by the court because it lacks merit or substance. Frivolous suits are often filed to cause inconvenience or financial burden to the defendant, and they waste the court's time and resources. It is important to only file a suit if there is a legitimate legal claim, and not to abuse the legal system for personal gain.

A more thorough explanation:

A frivolous suit is a lawsuit that has no legal basis and is often filed to harass or extort money from the defendant. It is a type of lawsuit that wastes time and resources of the court and the parties involved.

  • A person files a lawsuit against their neighbor for playing music too loud, even though the music is within the legal noise limits.
  • A company files a lawsuit against a former employee for stealing trade secrets, even though there is no evidence to support the claim.

These examples illustrate how a frivolous suit can be filed without any legal basis or evidence to support the claim. It can cause unnecessary stress and financial burden on the defendant and the court system.
