In the law of several jurisdictions, such as Ireland and New Zealand, frivolous or vexatious, when used to describe an action such as a complaint or a legal proceeding, is a term used to deny (or attempt to deny) its being heard, or to dismiss or strike out any ensuing judicial or non-judicial processes.
While the term is referenced in laws and regulations, it is often not defined by statute, being developed instead by decisions of the courts.
