Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best ground for dismissal of the suit is that Jock does not have standing. Standing is the legal right to bring a lawsuit, and a plaintiff must have suffered an injury that is concrete and particularized, actual or imminent, and not speculative in order to have standing. Since Jock has never bought an Inferior product, he has not suffered an injury and therefore lacks standing to bring the lawsuit. Certiorari is a type of writ used for asking a higher court to review a case, jurisdiction refers to the power of a court to hear and decide a case, and sufficient minimum contacts refers to the level of activity in a state required for that state to have jurisdiction over a defendant in a lawsuit.
