Standing in administrative law
Standing defines who may bring an administrative appeal or request judicial review of a decision affecting protected interests.
Standing in Swiss administrative law determines whether a person, company or organisation is entitled to challenge an administrative act. The usual requirements are participation or inability to participate in the prior procedure, special proximity to the matter, and a legitimate interest in annulment or amendment of the decision. A merely general political or ideological interest is normally insufficient. Statutes may also grant standing to authorities or associations. Standing is examined separately from whether the claim is substantively well founded.
