How does the law treat such frivolous lawsuits?
Frivolous lawsuits are a matter of civil law. According to the laws of the current judiciary system, any person can file a lawsuit making claims against the defendant. However, it is up to the jurisdiction of the court to consider the lawsuit as frivolous. However, any frivolous lawsuit cannot be ruled as illegal. Instead, the defendant can opt for filing a summary judgment motion. According to this motion, if the judge agrees that the defendant has not done anything wrong even though all the facts claimed in the lawsuit are supported, the lawsuit is dismissed. Upon successfully defending the lawsuit, the defendant has the option of filing a malicious prosecution lawsuit against the plaintiff that could help him in recovering the attorney fees apart from other damages.
