Federal Courts rules genuine interest is enough for locus standi


PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court has reviewed the test for locus standi, ruling that a person needs at least a genuine interest in an issue but not longer needs to prove to have his rights affected by it. 

To have locus standi (legal standing) means a person is qualified to take legal action, as they are affected in some degree by the issue they are taking action against.
