An abuse of court process is the use of the process of the court for purposes for which it is not meant.
It is unfortunate in the extreme and should be suppressed by all means possible as resort to it by litigants has always tended to bring the administration of justice to disrepute. The moment a litigant thinks he or she can come to court to seek shelter against imminent execution, not because the litigant has a cause of action but because they think they can mumble something in an application and hope that while the court struggles to decipher what it is they are saying, they can enjoy to shelter under the court's wings delaying the inevitable as much as possible, that is an abuse of court process.
It is even more repugnant when it appears to be instigated by the involvement of a legal practitioner, who, as an officer of the court, should know better.
