A frivolous lawsuit is a lawsuit that is filed by a party or attorney who is aware they are without merit, because of a lack of supporting legal argument or factual basis for the claims (Legal). Sometimes, this lawsuit is pointed at an entire organization because of an injury or problem caused by something they provide to consumers. Sometimes, they actually win.

China even memorable today. Mao Tse Tung or Mao Zedong did precisely that, by leading the Chinese Republic with the Communist party principles referred as Maoism (Townsend 1066).

Background Case: Profitable MTR System in Hong Kong (In this research case, I want to know what the key factors of the profitable MTR system are.
