That's true, but the frustration is understandable. We are all usually alive to the mischief these FMotL (or OPCA) litigants do to the justice system, but we sometimes forget that there is a wronged party on the other side who has suffered a loss, and is now likely to be out of luck in terms of ever getting any kind of remedy.

I don't know what the answer is--except maybe to follow Justice Rooke's example, and to treat these guys like the idiots they are. They are gumming up the works of an already overburdened system, and in many cases they are screwing over a litigant on the other side (in this case their landlady, but it could also be an ex-wife, or anyone really) who is being deprived of a lawful remedy by their shenanigans.
