In reality a lawsuit needs to have some basis. The bar might be low but judges frown on having their time wasted with a truly frivolous claim or a claim with no clear damages or harm shown.

That might have been true at some point in the past and the judiciary might even feel that way still.

However the practical penalty for filling absurd lawsuits is zero unless you do it repeatedly to random people for a decade.

Absolutely nothing bad will happen to the plaintiff or the lawyers representing them in this case.

Western legal systems are broken.
