While dealing with a difficult opposing party is not uncommon, at what point does a party’s conduct cross the line from arguably zealous advocacy to vexatious litigation? The cost to both an opposing party and the court of meritless litigation brought for the purpose of harassment, delay, and/or imposing unreasonable burden is real and significant. Identifying and efficiently disposing of such litigation, however, is far from clear-cut. Join our panel for a discussion of how to spot vexatious litigation and what can be done if you become the target of a vexatious litigant.
