A key issue related to champerty is barratry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barratry_(common_law) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barratry_(common_law)), being: "overly officious in instigating or encouraging prosecution of groundless litigation" or who bring "repeated or persistent acts of litigation" for the purposes of profit or harassment.
Champerty (the funding of the litigation of others) is a problem in no small part because it allows the wealthy to engage in barratry (frivolous or vexatious litigation).
