Third-Party Standing in Litigation
Analogous to permissive intervention and intervention as of right, third-party standing relates to when someone other than an existing party to a lawsuit has the ability to make a claim or objection in a lawsuit.
To have third-party standing, a litigant must show: (1) a concrete injury, (2) a close relation to the third-party and (3) some hindrance to the third party’s ability to protect its own interests.
