/ˈfrɪvələs/ – adj
Definition: phù phiếm, nhẹ dạ, hời hợt, hão huyền, nông nổi.
A more throughout explanation: In legal terms, “frivolous” refers to a claim, defense, motion, or legal argument that lacks merit, is not based on a sound legal theory, or is not supported by evidence. Frivolous legal actions are often brought or pursued for improper purposes, such as harassment or delay, rather than to seek a legitimate legal remedy. Courts may dismiss frivolous claims or impose sanctions on parties or attorneys who bring them.
Example: The judge dismissed the lawsuit, ruling that the plaintiff’s claims were frivolous and lacked any legal merit.
