|
- There are three requirements to decide when there is public interest to grant a party status to file an application to strike down legislation as unconstitutional: Is there a serious issues raised as to the invalidity of the legislation in question? Is the party directly affected by the legislation or, if not, does the plaintiff have a genuine interest in its validity? Is there another reasonable and effective way to bring the issue to the court? If a potential private litigant has the ability to make the application, then the third criterion is not met. (en)
