My comment:

Those found guilty of abuse of process and delaying tactics are subject to a civil fine

I disagree with you, Jennifer. In every ordinary dictionary you will find that "recours" in legal context means "legal remedy". So "claim" would not be the correct translation in this case, as it is only one of the means possible.

Sory, I think it is a claim. I am a native English speaker and rely on experience, not solely on dictionaries.
