Abuse of Process

Submitted by Litigator (United States), Jun 7, 2007 at 22:09

When sued, one should file a counterclaim to prevent the premature dismissal of the original suit, such as a claim for abuse of process or malicious prosecution, or alternatively file such a claim following the dismissal of the original suit. Moreover, under such circumstances, one should go after the lawyer who brought the case as well.
