Standing

In general knowledge, "standing" refers to the legal right of an individual or group to bring a lawsuit or challenge a decision in court. To have standing, a person must demonstrate that they are directly affected by an issue or law. Essentially, this means showing that they have a stake in the outcome, whether through personal injury, financial harm, or another significant impact. Without standing, a court may dismiss a case because the person lacks the necessary connection to the matter at hand. It ensures that only those with a genuine interest in a case can seek legal remedies.
