Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Standing to sue refers to whether a plaintiff has a legal right to bring a lawsuit. In this case, Geo Manufacturing Company has never purchased or used a Fabrication form, which means they have not suffered any harm from the allegedly substandard product. As such, they would not have standing to sue Fabrication, Inc. for damages.
