Multiplicity of suits refers to a situation where multiple lawsuits are filed by the same parties or involving the same issues in different courts or jurisdictions. This can lead to inefficiencies, inconsistencies, and unnecessary burdens on the legal system. To avoid multiplicity of suits, courts may consolidate cases, dismiss redundant claims, or transfer cases to a single jurisdiction for resolution.
