O QUE SIGNIFICA FRIVOLOUS EM INGLÊS

Litígio frívolo

Frivolous litigation

Na lei, o litígio frívolo é a prática de iniciar ou levar a cabo ações judiciais que, devido à falta de mérito legal, têm pouca ou nenhuma chance de serem vencidas. O termo não inclui casos que podem ser perdidos devido a outros assuntos não relacionados ao mérito legal. Embora coloquialmente, uma pessoa pode julgar uma ação judicial para ser frívola se ele pessoalmente encontrar um pedido de ser absurdo, no uso legal "litígio frívolo" consiste em uma reivindicação ou defesa que é apresentada onde a parte teve motivos para saber que a reivindicação ou a defesa era manifestamente insuficiente ou fútil. O fato de uma reclamação se perder não implica que seja frívola. O litígio frívolo pode basear-se em teorias jurídicas absurdas, pode envolver uma superabundância ou repetição de movimentos ou processos adicionais, pode ser inseguro ou assediar ao tribunal, ou pode reivindicar remédios extremos. Uma reivindicação ou defesa pode ser frívola, porque na verdade não teve justificativa subjacente, ou porque não foi apresentado um argumento para uma extensão razoável ou reinterpretação da lei. Uma reivindicação pode ser considerada frívola porque as leis existentes proíbem inequivocamente tal reivindicação, como a chamada Lei do Bom 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.
