Another version of "loser pays" are frivolous pleading sanctions

A frequent downfall of well meaning Freeper types. One thing to guard against at all costs, if filing a lawsuit which is then declared frivolous. And frivolous doesn't always mean what people think it means.

Not sure what you mean here, but I would try the o/j route before I'd count on recovery for frivolous pleading.

Many Florida judges are taking a very broad view of what frivolous means. If freepers think they're annoyed at the lame cases that actually make the papers, they should think about how ornery judges get from having their dockets filled with bogus disputes. The system has some powerful built in protections in the form of annoyed judges.
