sham pleading

Read a random definition: Bureau Veritas

A quick definition of sham pleading:

Pleading is a formal document that people use in a legal case to say what they think happened or to respond to what someone else said. It's like telling a story about what you think is true. There are different types of pleadings, like a complaint or an answer. Sometimes people try to trick the court by making a fake pleading that doesn't make sense, and that's called a sham pleading. Pleading can be complicated, but it's important to follow the rules so that everyone can understand what's going on in the case.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Sham pleading refers to a frivolous or absurd legal document that is filed only to cause trouble or delay in a legal proceeding. It is a false or deceitful plea that has no merit and is made with the intention of harassing the other party.

Example: A defendant in a civil lawsuit files a response to the plaintiff's complaint that contains no factual or legal basis for their defense. The response is clearly a sham pleading, as it does not address the allegations made by the plaintiff and is only meant to cause delay in the legal process.

This example illustrates how a sham pleading can be used to frustrate the legal process and cause unnecessary delays. It is a tactic that is frowned upon by the courts and can result in sanctions against the party who files such a document.
