Editing Standing (law) (section)

===Prudential limitations===
Additionally, there are three major prudential (judicially created) standing principles ('''prudential standing'''). Congress can override these principles via [[statute]]:

# '''General prohibition of [[third-party standing]]:''' A party may only assert their own rights and cannot raise the claims of a third party who is not before the court; exceptions exist where the third party has interchangeable economic interests with the injured party, or a person unprotected by a particular law sues to challenge the oversweeping of the law into the rights of others. For example, a party suing over a law prohibiting certain types of visual material, may sue because the [[First Amendment to the United States Constitution|First Amendment]] rights of theirs, and others engaged in similar displays, might be damaged.<br />Additionally, third parties who do not have standing may be able to sue under the [[next friend]] doctrine if the third party is an infant, mentally handicapped, or not a party to a contract. One example of a statutory exception to the prohibition of third party standing exists in the ''[[qui tam]]'' provision of the Civil [[False Claims Act]].<ref name=VermontANR>{{ussc|name=Vermont Agency of Natural Resources v. United States ex rel. Stevens|volume=529|page=765|pin=|year=2000}}.</ref>
# '''Prohibition of generalized grievances:''' A plaintiff cannot sue if the injury is widely shared in an undifferentiated way with many people. For example, the general rule is that there is no federal taxpayer standing, as complaints about the spending of federal funds are too remote from the process of acquiring them. Such grievances are ordinarily more appropriately addressed in the representative branches.
# '''Zone of interest test:''' There are in fact two tests used by the United States Supreme Court for the zone of interest
## Zone of injury: The injury is the kind of injury that Congress expected might be addressed under the statute.<ref>{{ussc|name=Federal Election Commission v. Akins|volume=524|page=11|pin=|year=1998}}.</ref>
## Zone of interests: The party is arguably within the zone of interest protected by the statute or constitutional provision.<ref>{{ussc|name=Allen v. Wright|volume=468|page=737|pin=|year=1984}}.</ref>
