Do the following satisfy locus standi please:

1. Previously worked in the borough at a Public High School for Girls.

2. Previously entertained people pre-Covid in the Market Square and, post-Covid, for charity.

3. Representative of various people v the council in box junctions, bus lane and parking legislations. Two pending cases. Three won at the said location out of three.

4. Liberal Democrat Leader sought my advice re Surbiton Crescent fiasco some 9 years ago which led to them scrapping it.

5. Present council administration (Lib. Dems.)listened to my health and safety concerns re Eden Street Bus lane camera not catching motorcyclists and moved the camera.

There are "known knowns" which we may never have wished to know. This applies to them. But in the field the idea that there are also "unknown unknowns" doesn't apply as they hide in the aleatoric lottery. I know this is true and need to be prepared knowing the "unknown unknowns" may well apply.

Broadly speaking, do you have a current interest in the issue, or do you have sufficient standing to bring a claim for the benefit of those that do?

IMHO, #3 is the only one that has any semblance of legs, with #4 and #5 perhaps adding a degree of credibility.

N.B. Nobody outside of the Administrative Court is qualified to answer your question.

The only example I am aware of from personal experience is the Consumers' Association appearing as an interested party in the Supreme Court in Beavis.

#5. Pedantically, there is no “present” council. Same council, different administration.

As an RBK resident, I wish you luck.

Corrected. Thanks. Sorry as I have had a tough day on taxi duties between Heathrow and Gatwick and back home and then straight into a review hearing which I won.

Absolutely not! I’m not being on the hook for costs in a JR.

Thought so! But, what about the contents of the link?

BTW: the only costs they may get from me are: 4 out of 5 of my goldfish; 2 out of 3 of my violins; 1 out of 2 of my amplifier/speakers; 1 out of 2 of my cars; and my whole body for scientific research.  Or a pound a week.

The legal issue

Two officers - Hill and Hamide (ultra vires) - and two councillors - Heap and Hendersen - said they would not switch off the camera because that would have "financial and budgetary implications."

Please see:

**************

At a more recent meeting, Laurel and Hardy said they could not make decisions. It was for the councillors.

What about it? It says pretty much what I said, but with more details and authorities.
The most positive part is where something needs challenging, the person seeking to challenge might be able to make a half decent fist of it, and nobody else is likely to be in a position to do so.

What it does not explicitly address, which your OP did, is that you don't want to come across as some sort of nucking futter (or vexatious in legal speak). Remember that you are a serious advocate with a lot of diligent research and experience behind you, who dons the mask of humour to draw attention to issues that might otherwise be overlooked (even if the evidence suggests otherwise).

@mrmustard  I will give you a call as I could add the person whose case was refused recently. I feel emboldened by the contents of this link. I also have 2 cases outstanding at representations stage.

Summary Checklist

Define the cause of action and the forum (JR vs private law vs statute).
Apply the correct standing test:
JR: sufficient interest (SCA 1981 s.31(3)).
Contract: privity or CRTPA 1999.
Tort: direct damage to the claimant.
Nuisance: proprietary interest in land.
HRA: claimant is a “victim” (HRA 1998 s.7).

For organisations: show a clear link to affected members and why the group is a proper claimant.

Evidence the connection: harm, location, membership, authorisations, and participation history.

If standing is doubtful, consider adding a directly affected individual or using alternative routes.

Prepare for a permission‑stage debate on standing in JR; link the seriousness and arguability of the claim to the interest asserted.
