Justiciable definition
Justiciable means suitable for litigation, a concept which has special meaning in federal courts. To be justiciable, a legal claim must be “ripe” (actual and existing, not speculative), the plaintiff must have “standing” (have suffered an actual injury caused by defendant’s conduct, and capable of resolution by a court), and the claim must not become “moot” (must remain ripe through the entirety of litigation). See Wright & Kane, Federal Courts 7th ed. (West) 133-42.
Justiciable means that it is subject to resolution by a court of law.
Justiciable in this context means only that such action by the Crown could be considered and reported on by the Waitangi Tribunal.
