Answer to last week's quiz is vexatious. Here's our explanation of the term, taken from our book "Civil Litigation and Dispute Resolution: Vocabulary Series":
Vexatious Litigation (noun): This means that a claimant issues a number of claims that are totally without merit. Without merit means that there are no grounds or good reasons to make the claim. Vexatious litigants are usually placed on a special list and must ask the court for permission to issue a claim with the court. The courts are generally reluctant to place a litigant on the list as it restricts their access to the courts. It is, therefore, not common for litigants to be placed on the list without good reason. Associated Words: Claim (noun), Claimant (noun), Grounds (noun), To Issue a Claim (collocation).
