GUIDELINE

Guidelines for Drafting for Malicious Prosecution:

A claim for malicious prosecution is utilized in civil litigation when an individual believes they were wrongfully and maliciously prosecuted, resulting in damages. Follow these guidelines for effective drafting:

Clearly State the Basis: Clearly outline the facts and circumstances that form the basis for the claim of malicious prosecution. Specify the alleged wrongful acts committed during the prosecution process.

Establish Malice and Lack of Probable Cause: Demonstrate the presence of malice on the part of the prosecutor and the absence of probable cause for the original legal action. Clearly articulate how these elements apply to your case.

Specify Damages: Clearly detail the damages suffered as a result of the malicious prosecution, including financial losses, emotional distress, reputational harm, or other adverse consequences.

Provide Supporting Evidence: Support your claim with concrete evidence such as court records, witness statements, or legal opinions that substantiate the lack of probable cause and establish malice.

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

Inadequate Specifics: Clearly specify the details of the malicious prosecution. Lack of specificity may weaken the claim and lead to dismissal.

Failure to Prove Malice: Ensure you provide sufficient evidence to establish malice. Failing to prove the malicious intent may undermine the entire claim.

Ignoring Probable Cause: Address and refute the existence of probable cause for the original legal action. Ignoring this element weakens the foundation of a malicious prosecution claim.

Late Filing: File the claim within the applicable statute of limitations. Late filing may result in the dismissal of an otherwise valid claim.

By adhering to these guidelines and avoiding common mistakes, you can draft a robust claim for malicious prosecution, presenting a compelling case to seek remedies for damages arising from wrongful and malicious legal proceedings.
