It is possible under English Common Law I think to have someone
declared a 'vexatious litigant.' This is difficult but is designed to
stop someone with means and nothing better to do from using the law
as a recreation in nuisance actions or to make someone else's life a
misery. Such a person is then unable to initiate an action unless it
is first approved by a judge.
I have local acquaintances who have been pursued for years by someone
with money and madness in a series of deranged actions - a legal
'stalker' in effect. So far they have been unable to have her listed
in this way as they can't afford the process.
