Judges of the Supreme Court can bar vexatious and frivolous litigants

COURTS (AMENDMENT) ACT (Act No. 6 of 2011)

The Act amends the Courts Act to enable the Supreme Court, where it is satisfied that a person has persistently started vexatious proceedings or made similar applications in any Court, to make an appropriate order so as to declare him to be a vexatious litigant and restrain the start of such proceedings or the making of such applications.

Status: Published in the Gazette No. 39 of 25 April 2011.

The Judge is on the Look Out!
For those who are accustomed to enter legal actions for no proper reason or without any interest before the Supreme Court, there is only one advice: Beware!
