If a court was guilty of gross negligence, how do i sue?
Suing a court for gross negligence is highly complex and rare. Generally, courts and judges have judicial immunity, which protects them from lawsuits for actions taken in their official capacity. However, if you believe you have a valid claim, you can consider the following steps:
*. Consult an Attorney: Seek legal advice from an attorney experienced in judicial misconduct.
*. File a Complaint: You may file a complaint with the judicial conduct board in Maryland.
*. Federal Claims: Consider if there is a federal claim under civil rights laws.

The situation is an estate case, where the court has continually reversed its own orders and then changed the terms of an order after it has been complied with fully.
To help you further, could you specify if you are looking to appeal the court's decisions or if you would like to file a complaint against the judge?
It is the judge who seems to have caused the most harm, in that she does not seem to know the law and relies heavily on one of the creditor's attorneys to call the shots and influence her decisions.
