| | Malicious prosecution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Malicious prosecution is a common law intentional tort. | | | While similar to the tort of abuse of process, its elements include (1) intentionally (and maliciously) instituting or pursuing (or causing to be instituted or pursued) a legal action (civil or criminal) that is (2) brought without probable cause and (3) dismissed in favor of the victim of the malicious prosecution. | | | In some jurisdictions, "malicious prosecution" is reserved for the wrongful initiation of criminal proceedings, while "malicious use of process" refers to the wrongful initiation of civil proceedings. |

| | When malicious prosecution is brought as a federal constitutional tort, the outcome of the case does not hinge on state law, but federal law, and does not differ depending on the tort law of a particular state. | | | Significantly, in actions in actions for malicious prosecution actions it is stated that there exists no exact measure of damages for such claims except the enlightened conscience of impartial jurors and the worldly circumstances of the parties are admissible in evidence for consideration by the jury in awarding damages. | | | To establish a federal malicious prosecution claim under section 1983, the plaintiff must prove a violation of his Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable seizures in addition to the elements of the common law tort of malicious prosecution. |

| | Malicious Prosecution: The Disfavored Tort That Will Not Go Away |
| | A malicious prosecution claim cannot be predicated on the outcome of contractual arbitration; the public policy favoring arbitration as a quick and expensive means to resolve disputes would be undermined if such disputes could give rise to judicial litigation based upon the outcome of the arbitration. | | | If the malicious prosecution plaintiff cannot show that the underlying dismissal related to doubts about the merits of the case, the claim may be subject to a dispositive motion based on an inability to prove a favorable termination. | | | Instead, probable cause is an objective determination -- the court in the malicious prosecution action must look at the evidence and the law and determine whether any reasonable attorney (not this particular attorney) would have believed there was a tenable basis for filing the underlying action. |

| | Plaintiff in a malicious prosecution action must prove that the prior judicial proceeding terminated in his favor, and it is essential that the defendant not be given the opportunity to re-try that case. | | | In a malicious prosecution case against an attorney, the test for probable cause is whether the case was tenable, meaning "objectively reasonable." In other words, if no reasonable attorney would have believed that there was a legitimate basis for prosecuting the lawsuit, there was no probable cause. | | | The jury may either return a special verdict on factual questions, permitting the court then to state whether or not probable cause existed, or the court may instruct the jury to render their verdict based upon whether specified facts (constituting probable cause) existed. |

| | Avoiding Malicious Prosecution Claims |
| | One of the essential elements for a malicious prosecution case is "malice," which almost necessarily implies an intentional wrongful act by the attorney ("the existence of a primary purpose other than that of securing an adjudication of the claim"). | | | The tort of wrongful use of a civil proceeding is the civil counterpart of malicious prosecution, and is based on a prior civil proceeding. | | | The tort of malicious prosecution consists of initiating or procuring criminal proceedings, from an improper motive and without probable cause, against another who is not guilty of the offense charged, and who ultimately gains a favorable termination of the proceedings. |

| | Avoiding the Pitfalls of Malicious Prosecution Lawsuits |
| | The courts have expressly recognized this very difficult dilemma, where attorneys may be subject to claims of malicious prosecution by opponents because they vigorously represent their client, yet are also subject to claims of legal malpractice if they fail to provide the vigorous representation to which the client is entitled. | | | Specifically, where the terms of the settlement require the dismissal of another party as a necessary condition of settlement, that party is barred from filing a malicious prosecution action because there is no favorable termination on the merits. | | | An attorney defending a lawsuit often deals with a client who wants his or her attorney to "take the offensive." There is sometimes pressure to file a cross-complaint to send a message to the plaintiff that there may be a "downside" to pursuing the case. |
