Hughes1922Held that a New York resident (whose state had women’s suffrage) lacked any particularized standing to challenge alleged state-level of the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. This was a landmark case, prior to this, private citizens were permitted to litigate public rights.9\u20130Frothingham v.

Morton1972Held that an environmental group, as a corporate entity, did not by itself have standing to challenge a development permit, but that such a group could sue on behalf of any of its members if those members had, themselves, a particularized interest.[5]4\u20133United States v. SCRAP1973Held that SCRAP, while alleging quite attenuated injuries to the local environment due to a proposed rail freight increase on recyclable materials, did, by showing that its members made use of those areas, assert a particularized harm, and enjoyed standing to sue under the principles enunciated in Sierra Club.8\u20130Valley Forge Christian College v. Americans United for Separation of Church and State1982Denied standing to Americans United, as the conditional gift of surplus federal property to the College arose from Article IV of the Constitution, and not the Tax and Spending Clause, and therefore failed the Flast Test.5\u20134DeFunis v.

Coleman1983Held that an organization may sue in its own right if it has been directly injured, for example through a “drain on the organization’s resources”, and that so-called “testers”, individuals who sought to determine if a company was in violation of the law, may have standing in their own right.[6]9\u20130[7]City of Los Angeles v. Lyons1983Held that a plaintiff had standing to sue for damages from being subjected to a chokehold that was allowed under Los Angeles Police Department policy, but did not have standing to sue for an injunction against the chokehold policy itself, clarifying that standing must be found for different forms of relief individually.5\u20134Allen v. Wright1984Held that a group of African-American parent plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge what they saw as a lack of enforcement of restrictions by the Internal Revenue Service on certain private school tax exemptions, as the plaintiff parents’ children had never applied, and had no plans to apply to those schools.5\u20133County of Riverside v. McLaughlin1991Lujan v.

Chapter, Associated Gen. Contractors of America v. Jacksonville1993Raines v.

Cuno2006Held that state taxpayers do not have standing to challenge to state tax laws in federal court.9\u20130Massachusetts v.

Robins2016Thole v. US Bank2020Statutory ’cause of action to sue’ does not satisfy Article III standing requirements; plaintiffs must have suffered concrete and particularized injury.5-4Carney v. Adams2020In a case challenging the legality of a law limiting who can apply for judicial vacancies, a plaintiff did not have Article III standing because he failed to show that he was “able and ready” to apply for a judicial vacancy and thus did not suffer personal, concrete, and imminent injury.8-0Uzuegbunam v. Preczewski2021Nominal damages satisfy Article III’s requirement of redressability8-1California v.
