If someone is regularly filing false or baseless civil complaints without proof or valid reason, you can send them a legal notice through a lawyer warning them to stop misusing the legal process. If the behavior continues, you can file a case for malicious prosecution or defamation under civil law, and even seek compensation. In some cases, if it's harassment, you may also approach the court for an injunction to prevent them from taking such actions again. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
