Introduced by: Timothy D. Hugo | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Associational standing; definition of person aggrieved. Confers associational standing in Virginia as articulated in Hunt v. Washington Apple Advertising Commission, 432 U.S. 333 (1977). Virginia currently follows the common law rule that the person seeking standing must have an immediate, pecuniary, and substantial interest in the litigation, and not a remote or indirect interest. Unlike federal law, the injury to an individual of an association does not vest in the association.
