Abstract:

Both North Carolina and Florida have laws dealing with frivolous lawsuits. Several different statues dealing with this general issue were examined by the NC Courts Commission, which then decided to follow Florida's statue as a model. This memorandum briefly analyzes the differences between the North Carolina and Florida statutes and then will summarize Florida's experience with its statute.
