The term locus standi denotes the legal capacity to institute an action in a court of law.It is a status which the plaintiff must have before being heard in court.It is a condition precedent to determination on the merits.
Where it is proved that a plaintiff lacks locus standi to bring an action,the court will decline jurisdiction as it has none.
