No it doesn't. The case will get thrown out on some other grounds when the officials sends in their report on why the permit was denied. Likewise, not responding to the lawsuit could result in a default judgement regardless of QI.

We can keep frivolous lawsuits by people pissed off with bureaucracy from happening while also allowing government officials to be sued for the actual economic damages they inflict on people.

Ah yes, the classic someone will abuse it, so we'll make it illegal! By that same logic, we could just make it illegal to be rich, so no rich people are around to abuse the lawsuits -- checkmate!
