Justiciable - sustany/dvg GitHub Wiki

Justiciable refers to a matter which is capable of being decided by a court. Justiciable means that a case is suitable for courts to hear and decide on the merits. On the other hand, if a case is not justiciable, the court must dismiss it.�

Before agreeing to hear a case, a court first examines its justiciability. This preliminary review applies a number of tests based on judicial doctrines. These tests concern:�

• The�plaintiff,
• The�adversity�between�the�parties,
• The�substance�of�the�issues�in�the�case,�and
• The�timing�of�the�case.
