Vexatious litigation is legal action which is brought, regardless of its merits, solely to
harass or subdue an
adversary. It may take the form of a primary
frivolous lawsuit or may be the repetitive, burdensome, and unwarranted filing of meritless motions in a matter which is otherwise a meritorious
cause of action. Filing vexatious litigation is considered an abuse of the
judicial process and may bring down
sanctions on the offender.
Roy L. Pearson, Jr., an Administrative Law Judge in the District of Columbia, who
sued a dry-cleaner for $54 million for allegedly losing a pair of his trousers, is sometimes used as an example of a vexatious litigant.
