Dutch term
tergend en roekeloos geding
Dutch to English
Law/Patents
Law (general)
This is from a Belgian letter explaining a ruling on benefit payments. The sentence in question reads:
"Indien de rechtbank echter oordeelt dat het om een "tergend en roekloos geding" gaat, zullen de kosten van de rechtsprocedure door u moeten betaald worden."
I can understand what the text wants to say, I am just unsure whether there is a standard translation that I could use or an equivalent common phrase in English. I haven't been able to find anything suitable yet.

vexatious and reckless proceedings
provocative is not the right word, moreover vexatious and reckless is a more or less established phrase.
geding is pretty much always proceedings, but depending on the context action or suit may be preferred.
