Judicial stalking is a phenomenon that can have serious legal and personal repercussions. Understanding this concept is essential for those facing situations of abuse of the judicial system. In this guide, we will explore what judicial stalking means and how Italian law addresses this issue.
Judicial stalking refers to the improper and repeated use of the legal system to harass or intimidate someone. This can include filing unfounded complaints, initiating vexatious lawsuits, or abusing the judicial process to intimidate or harm an individual.
