Abuse of Process
"Abuse of Process" refers to the misuse of legal procedures for an ulterior motive, rather than for the purpose intended by law. This can occur when a party uses the legal system to harass, intimidate, or gain an unfair advantage over another party. Such actions can undermine the integrity of the judicial process and lead to unnecessary legal costs and delays.
In legal contexts, courts may dismiss cases or impose sanctions if they find evidence of abuse of process. This principle helps ensure that the legal system is used fairly and justly, protecting the rights of all parties involved, including individuals and organizations.
