Whilst you may believe you have a good defence, making an early offer may save you time and money in the long run. In most cases, you want to avoid going to court. Even if you win your case, there is no guarantee that the other party will (or has the resources to) pay the costs of court orders. Therefore, it is sometimes more sensible to make an early settlement offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You may have the option of a Civil Restraint Order for vexatious litigants<\/a>. This is an option when the litigant keeps making claims against you without merit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, you should note that these can be difficult to obtain. They have strict criteria, as courts do not encourage restricting access to justice.

It applies to specific court claims and can last three years or longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A general CRO may be of consideration if the other two CROs are unsuitable and the litigant has made many claims or applications without merit. A general CRO applies to all claims and applications the litigant wants to make. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When a litigant disobeys a CRO, you can apply to the attorney general and ask them to issue a civil proceeding order.<\/a> This will make the litigant a vexatious litigant. This requires the attorney to thoroughly investigate the litigants’ previous claims before issuing one.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Continue reading this article below the form\n <\/i>\n<\/a>\nCan I Get a Civil Restraint Order (CRO) for a Vexatious Litigant?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
