Prefiling Order- Vexatious Litigant

Imperial Superior Court · Common Judicial Council Forms

Verified current as of July 28, 2026

The MC-700 form is used when a court decides that someone has filed too many lawsuits without valid reasons and restricts them from filing future cases without the court's permission first. A person would need this form if a judge has determined they are a "vexatious litigant"—someone who repeatedly brings frivolous or harassing lawsuits that waste the court's time.
