Section 1810-A. Limitation on right to resort to commercial claims procedures  


Latest version.
  • If  the  clerk shall find that the procedures of the commercial claims
      part are sought to be utilized by a claimant for purposes of  oppression
      or  harassment,  as  where  a  claimant  has previously resorted to such
      procedures on the same claim and has been unsuccessful after the hearing
      thereon, the clerk may in his discretion compel  the  claimant  to  make
      application  to  the  court  for  leave  to  prosecute  the claim in the
      commercial claims part.   The court upon such  application  may  inquire
      into  the circumstances and, if it shall find that the claim has already
      been adjudicated, or that the claim is sought to be  brought  on  solely
      for  purposes  of oppression or harassment and not under color of right,
      it may make an order denying the claimant  the  use  of  the  commercial
      claims part to prosecute the claim.
