When may a suit be brought to correct an unlawful act of a state or public body without the plaintiff's own legal interest being involved?
General information · Not legal advice
Material to check
In practice material of this kind, we read the paper recording the act of the state or public body organ that is complained of, the provision said to be violated, and the pleading that states the correction being sought.
These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.
Where readings differ
One reading takes the item at its word: where an organ of the state or public body has done an act violating the law, a suit may be brought directly seeking correction of that act, and the provision states no requirement that the plaintiff hold a legal interest of their own in the matter.
Another reading notes that the item speaks only of an act done by an organ and of an act 'violating the law', and leaves open which organs, which kinds of act and which legal provisions satisfy those descriptions, and what the correction of the act concretely means.
Your judgment
How could the file show that the act complained of was done by an organ of the state or public body and breaches a legal provision?
PRO SE does not make this decision or keep a case record on this public site.When to reconsider
We look at this again if the item is amended to add conditions on who may bring such a suit or on which acts it reaches, or if a court decision clarifies what counts as an act violating the law.
