QUÉ SIGNIFICA FRIVOLOUS EN INGLÉS

Litigios frivolos

Frivolous litigation

En la ley, el litigio frívolo es la práctica de iniciar o llevar a cabo demandas que, debido a su falta de mérito legal, tienen pocas o ninguna posibilidad de ser ganadas. El término no incluye los casos que pueden perderse debido a otros asuntos no relacionados con el mérito legal. Mientras que coloquialmente, una persona puede calificar una demanda para ser frívola si él o ella personalmente encuentra una demanda para ser absurdo, en uso legal "litigio frívolo" consiste en una demanda o defensa que se presenta cuando la parte tenía razones para saber que la demanda O la defensa era manifiestamente insuficiente o inútil. El hecho de que se pierda una reclamación no implica que fuera frívola. Los litigios frívolos pueden basarse en teorías absurdas del derecho, pueden implicar una superabundancia o repetición de mociones o trajes adicionales, pueden ser inciviles o acosar a la corte, o pueden reclamar remedios extremos. Una demanda o defensa puede ser frívola porque no tenía justificación subyacente de hecho, o porque no se presentó con un argumento para una extensión razonable o reinterpretación de la ley. Una reclamación puede ser considerada frívola porque las leyes existentes prohíben inequívocamente tal reclamación, como la llamada ley del Buen Samaritano.

In law, frivolous litigation is the practice of starting or carrying on lawsuits that, due to their lack of legal merit, have little to no chance of being won. The term does not include cases that may be lost due to other matters not related to legal merit. While colloquially, a person may term a lawsuit to be frivolous if he or she personally finds a claim to be absurd, in legal usage "frivolous litigation" consists of a claim or defense that is presented where the party had reason to know that the claim or defense was manifestly insufficient or futile. The fact that a claim is lost does not imply that it was frivolous. 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. A claim or defense may be frivolous because it had no underlying justification in fact, or because it was not presented with an argument for a reasonable extension or reinterpretation of the law. A claim may be deemed frivolous because existing laws unequivocally prohibit such a claim, such as a so-called Good Samaritan law.
