Question

If someone tries to bring a lawsuit without having suffered actual damages, the case may be dismissed due to which of the following concerns?
(A) mootness
(B) ripeness
(C) lack of controversy
(D) standing

Answer 1

The correct answer is (D) Standing

Explanation:

In law, standing refers to the requirement of damages or harm for a lawsuit to be valid; this is related to the Article III of the United States Constitution that establishes judicial power should only intervene in the case of real cases including those in which there is real damage. According to this, if someone tries to bring a lawsuit without having suffered actual damages the case may be dismissed due to Standing because in this case there is no proof of real damage and standing refers to the connection between the action sued and the damage caused by it.
