Frivolous litigation is the practice of starting or carrying on law suits that have no chance of winning. There are both legal and colloquial definitions of the term. In popular usage, lay persons typically call a lawsuit "frivolous" if they personally find a claim to be absurd, regardless of its legal standing. But in official usage, as by the judiciary of the United States, "frivolous litigation" is considered to consist of a legal claim or defense presented even though the party or the party's legal counsel had reason to know that the claim or defense was manifestly insufficient or futile, that is to say, had no legal merit. The remainder of this article discusses the usage of the term within the legal profession.Frivolous litigation may be based on absurd legal theories, may involve a superabundance or repetition of motions or additional suits, may be uncivil or harassing to the court, or may claim extreme remedies.
