MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from National Ass'n of Home Builders of U.S v. City of Los Angeles, 116 F.3d 485 (9th Cir. 1997):

An association has standing to bring suit on behalf of its members if: "(a) its members would otherwise have standing to sue in their own right; (b) the interests it seeks to protect are germane to the organization's purpose; and (c) neither the claim asserted nor the relief requested requires the participation of individual members in the lawsuit." Hunt v. Washington State Apple Adver. Comm'n, 432 U.S. 333, 343 (1977).
