filing a lawsuit with the knowledge that it has no legal basis, with its purpose
to bother, annoy, embarrass and cause legal expenses to the defendant. Vexatious
litigation includes continuing a lawsuit after discovery of the facts shows it has
absolutely no merit. Upon judgment for the defendant, he/she has the right to file
a suit for "malicious prosecution" against the original vexatious plaintiff. Moreover,
most states allow a judge to penalize with sanctions a plaintiff and his/her attorney
for filing or continuing a "frivolous" legal action (money award to the defendant
for the trouble and/or attorney fees).
