[¶ 42] Rather than enabling an implausible claim, a court may sanction an individual for bringing a frivolous, vexatious, or implausible protection from harassment or protection from abuse action. See Boggs v. Berthiaume, 2008 ME 169, ¶ 3, 959 A.2d 739, 740-41. In fact, in some instances where, as here, an individual has a history of asserting frivolous, vexatious, *81 or implausible claims, we have held that an individual may be barred from bringing further claims without first receiving court permission. See Spickler v. Key Bank of So. Me., 618 A.2d 204, 207-08 (Me.1992).
