Isn't this called barratry?
I thought barratry was illegal, but maybe I'm wrong. I'm not an attorney, but a translator who deals mainly with legal documents, so it could be that I don't have my facts straight. This is probably because there's no big money in charging people with barratry, for which reason nobody is ever going to file an international case that needs the services of a translator.
However, I'm curious: is there any way that a person who files a frivolous and harassing lawsuit, in which he does not have standing, can be punished/sued for his actions?
