LOCUS STANDI IS THE RIGHT OR CAPACITY TO START AN ACTION
Locus Standi can be defined as: “when the person has the right to sue or to be sued with regards to a particular matter” (Refer to Pete S, et al – Civil procedure-A practical guide). The legal term, Locus Standi essentially applies to a plaintiff’s attempt to show to the Court that there is ample relation or correlation or cause of action to the plaintiff from the suit. In other words, it applies to a person’s (legal and/or natural) capacity to put a case before the Court of Law or to testify before the Court of Law.
There are three elements of Standing to sue or take somebody/start an action against somebody, in a Court of Law:
1) Injury in Fact: To sue someone the Plaintiff must show that the other party or Defendant injured him.
2) Causation: Victims/Plaintiffs must prove that the party they are suing caused them injury/loss.
3) Redressability: The Court of Law must be able to do something to remedy a Plaintiff’s injury. 4) Standing to Sue: Injury in fact. The injury caused must have been suffered, and cannot be speculative or anticipated. Does not need to be physical harm or injury. Causation: The Plaintiffs must show that the Defendants caused their injury. Standing to sue: The victims/Plaintiffs must show that their injury resulted from another party’s negligence or intentional conduct.
LOCUS STANDI under the South African Constitution:
The Locus Standi principle and its Common Law requirements still prevail and are relevant in South African Law as it stands. This is clearly reflected in the interpretation clause in Section 39(2), where the Courts are required to promote the spirit, object and purpose of the Bill of Rights.
Does the Bank/Originator have LOCUS STANDI to sue a “Debtor” if the alleged monthly repayment installments are not made?
If the Credit Agreement you signed with the Originator (and all the relevant sureties linked to it, – if any) have been Securitised, the Originator has NO LOCUS STANDI as it cannot prove a loss.
-The Debt/Credit Agreement and related security, was sold to an SPI for the total PRINCIPLE DEBT and done so “WITHOUT RECOURSE” to the seller/Originator.
-The SPI used the Investor’s money to pay the Originator, so the SPI has no loss to prove.
-The Investor is a “GAMBLER” and in line with the Stock Exchange’s Rules and Regulations, the Investor invest, knowing that he can lose his total investment and that the investor has no recourse accept his insurance cover taken out on a possible loss.
-None other party can sue the client/”debtor” because he has NO agreement with any of them (but the Originator who has been paid).
