What is the standing of a plaintiff in a civil action?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Stoianoff v. State of Mont., 695 F.2d 1214 (9th Cir. 1983):
Standing of parties to bring their claims is a threshold question a court must face before reaching the substantive issues of a case. Traditionally, courts require that a plaintiff have a "personal stake" in the outcome of a case, "to assure that concrete adverseness which sharpens the presentation of issues upon which the court so largely depends for illumination of difficult constitutional questions." Baker v. Carr, 369 U.S. 186, 204, 82 S.Ct. 691, 703, 7 L.Ed.2d 663 (1962).
