Abstract
This article explores the strengths and limitations of the Vexatious Proceedings Act 2014 (Vic). The author evaluates the capacity of the legislation to balance substantive access to justice with efficiency and effectiveness, highlighting the extra-legal needs of vexatious litigants, and exploring the operation of the Act on vulnerable populations and intervention order litigants. This article argues there is a need to re-visit the broader aims of the Inquiry into Vexatious Litigants Report (2008) beyond implementation of what is otherwise model legislation.
