Frivolous Allegations Sample Clauses

The Frivolous Allegations clause is designed to prevent parties from making baseless or unfounded claims within the context of an agreement or dispute resolution process. Typically, this clause outlines that any party found to have made allegations without reasonable grounds may face penalties, such as bearing the costs of the proceedings or other sanctions. By discouraging the use of legal or contractual processes for meritless complaints, the clause helps ensure that only legitimate issues are raised, thereby saving time and resources and maintaining the integrity of the dispute resolution process.
Frivolous Allegations. The pursuit of frivolous allegations through this complaint procedure has a detrimental effect on the spirit and intent for which this article was rightfully developed and should be discouraged. In the event that the complaint was found to have been made in bad faith, in reprisal, frivolously or with malicious intent, the person making the complaint may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.
