14.3
Vexatious litigants
The Interim Report
noted the problems caused by certain litigants who abuse the
system and the demands that such abuse makes on judicial resources, resulting in
delay for legitimate court users.  While it did not put forward a formal Proposal on this
topic, the Interim Report pointed to the limitations of our present legislation for the
control of vexatious litigants and suggested that consideration be given to legislative
reform.  Having further explored the position, the Working Party is of the view that
certain legislative changes should be recommended.
Notes
At §§184-187.
