That exists in the concept of "frivolous litigation" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frivolous_litigation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frivolous_litigation This has been used in response to some "sovereign citizen" cases (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_citizen_movement#Legal_status_of_theories https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_citizen_movement#Leg...), and it can result in penalties like fines.
There's also "vexatious litigation", for when you're effectively trying to use the court system to harass someone.
- habitue 5y agoI think there are also opportunities to have a case dismissed before going into the costly parts of a trial like discovery. The judge can dismiss it just based on the merits of the suit, where they just assume all the alleged facts will turn out to be true. (I am so not a lawyer, would love if a lawyer could correct me)
- mywittyname 5y agoMy understanding is that the bar for this is incredibly high, especially vexatious litigation.
