Just class him as a vexatious litigant and have done. No new laws required.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The action has led to a call from ECOPEI for Prince Edward Island to enact legislation to protect the right of individuals and organizations to participate in public discourse without facing what the group has characterized as a “frivolous” lawsuit.

“ECOPEI is concerned that this type of litigation will discourage others from expressing their views on important government land-use decisions that could negatively impact the environment,” the group said in a media release dated Dec. 3.

In its statement of defence, ECOPEI denies the allegations, calling Banks’s claim “an abuse of process, and an improper use of civil litigation to intimidate and harass a non-profit public interest organization.”

Banks told CBC News in August, and reiterated this week, that the offer Parks Canada made to him to purchase his property fell well below the value his own appraiser put on the land.

The province said staff in the minister’s office have received informal inquiries from other landowners who still own lots in the subdivision; “however, no other permit applications have been filed.”

ECOPEI, which operates MacPhail Woods Ecological Forestry Project in Orwell, said it has a lawyer working pro bono and will fight the lawsuit.
