A quick definition of vexatious proceeding:

Term: VEXATIOUS PROCEEDING

Definition: A vexatious proceeding is a lawsuit that is started without a good reason and with the intention of causing trouble for the other party. It is also known as a vexatious suit or vexatious litigation. This type of legal action is considered malicious and can be compared to a malicious prosecution.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A vexatious proceeding is a legal action that is brought without good cause and with malicious intent. It is also known as a vexatious suit or vexatious litigation. It is different from malicious prosecution, which involves the wrongful initiation of criminal proceedings.

Examples:

  • A person files a lawsuit against their neighbor for playing music too loudly, even though the neighbor has not violated any noise ordinances. This would be considered a vexatious proceeding.
  • An individual repeatedly files frivolous lawsuits against a company in an attempt to harass and intimidate them. These lawsuits have no merit and are brought solely to cause harm. This would also be considered a vexatious proceeding.

These examples illustrate how a vexatious proceeding is brought without good cause and with malicious intent. It is important to note that the legal system is designed to protect individuals' rights to seek justice, but it is not meant to be used as a tool for harassment or intimidation.

vexatious litigant | vexatious refusal to pay

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
