German term or phrase: ein "mutwilliger" oder "unbesonnener" Rechtsschutzantrag
The text I am working on is a handbook for company truck drivers. Drivers are guaranteed legal protection if charges are filed against them except when ...

"der Rechtsschutzantrag mutwillig oder unbesonnen ist"

As I am unfamiliar with legalese and although I found "mutwilliger Antrag" online, I simply did not get the gist ...

Rechtsschutzantrag is the petition or application for legal protection.

So....it should not be filed with (malicious) intent?
or carelessly?

I definitely need help here...
thanks in advance for any pointers.

Asker: Many thanks, Vito. I went with "reckless or with malicious intent" Your suggestion of "mischiveous", although the right idea, does not fit the legal context. Thanks again for your help!
