What is the test for standing to make a claim against someone who is not a party to the contract?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Dousette v. Minidis, B247436 (Cal. App. 2015):
"It is elementary that a party asserting a claim must have standing to do so. In asserting a claim based upon a contract, this generally requires the party to be a signatory to the contract, or to be an intended third party beneficiary." (Berclain America Latina v. Baan Co. (1999) 74 Cal.App.4th 401, 405.)
