Introduction Lawsuits are going to be filed every day, you can file a suit against anyone whether there is merit for it or not. We sometimes find ourselves in front of a judge for issues that we find unjust, Lacking Facts and merit that are definitely not meant for justice to be served but more of unethical reasons. We often call these situations Frivolous injustice. Frivolous lawsuits are normally lawsuits that will be brought to the courts lacking factual evidence and the outcome is that they have little to no chance of winning proceeds in the case.
