how is frivolus judged? by successful conviction?

How is frivolous to be decided- by eventual success of the complaint? - is the big question. Lots of misdeeds, misappropriations, illegalities, corrupution is rampant and blatant. When citizens apporach courts as executive fails to satisfactorily control, the damocles sword of huge costs should not be hanging over the complainants. Most cases even if admitted on primafacie evidence cannot be convicted eventually for lack of criminal level of proof. That does not mean that the crime did not take place. In such most likely event, discouragement by huge costs will give a fillip to already rampant blatant illegalities .
