Weaponized Legal Proceedings
The law is intended to serve the function of ensuring fair and proper justice within a civil society; however, in some circumstances the law may be improperly weaponized as an abusive tool for an ulterior purpose. When the law is misused with proceedings conducted in an improper fashion, the victim of the abused proceeding may subsequently seek redress within the civil litigation process. Recognizing misbehaviour within legal proceedings is crucial for maintaining the integrity of legal proceedings and for ensuring that the law is used solely for the proper purpose of servimg justice.
