For top insolvency practitioners, like those at Irwin Mitchell, frivolous, repeated and often abusive legal claims can unsettle what would otherwise be routine court applications.
A vexatious litigant is someone who repeatedly brings meritless claims to frustrate opponents or courts, rather than resolve genuine legal disputes.
