New Laws Tackle Vexatious Litigants

New Laws Tackle Vexatious Litigants

Published 4 days, 23 hours ago
Description

New laws are being introduced to combat the rise of vexatious litigants - individuals who file numerous, often frivolous lawsuits to harass others. These reforms aim to stop such disruptions, which can physically menace court officials and add significant costs to government departments. Under the new rules, individuals declared vexatious litigants will have their cases dismissed and will need court approval to file new cases. This is not about taking away legal rights, but ensuring only legitimate cases have access to the courts. The reforms are also expected to benefit victims of domestic violence, as vexatious complaints can delay trials and discourage survivors from engaging with the legal system.
