sham action

Read a random definition: charta

A quick definition of sham action:

A sham action is when someone pretends to take legal action but doesn't actually do anything to resolve the problem. Legal action is when someone goes to court to try to solve a problem or dispute. A court is a place where judges make decisions about legal problems. A legal problem is when two people or groups disagree about something and need a judge to help them figure out what to do. A judge is a person who listens to both sides of a problem and makes a decision about what should happen.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A legal proceeding that is fake or fraudulent, brought without any intention of pursuing it to a conclusion. It is a deceptive tactic used to mislead the court or the opposing party.

Example: A person files a lawsuit against their neighbor for damages caused by a fallen tree. However, the person knows that the tree fell due to a storm and not because of any negligence on the neighbor's part. The lawsuit is a sham action because it has no merit and is brought solely to harass or intimidate the neighbor.

This example illustrates how a sham action can be used to abuse the legal system and waste the court's time and resources. It is considered unethical and can result in sanctions or penalties for the party who files it.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
