Vexatious litigation is defined as 'legal action which is brought solely to harass or subdue an adversary'.

The Constitutional and Legal Affairs and Justice Committee will 'give consideration to the issue and [determine] what legislation may be needed to provide improved protections and recourse in this matter', before it reports back to Tynwald.

It follows a petition submitted to the court, on Tynwald Day this year, by Manx resident Mark Cleator, which has been picked up by Middle MHK Stu Peters.

In this episode, Siobhán Fletcher speaks to both men, and hears from Justice and Home Affairs Minister, Jane Poole-Wilson.
