Heading: Oklahoma Standing Requirements

Text: Standing in Oklahoma refers to the legal rights of a person to challenge the conduct of another in a judicial forum. [19] The issue of standing may be raised at any stage and at any time during the judicial process by any party or sua sponte by the court. [20] This threshold inquiry must reveal that the party has alleged: (1) an actual or threatened injury, i.e. injury in fact; (2) the relief sought would remedy the injury; and (3) the interest sought to be protected is within the zone of interest protected by statute or by the constitution. [21] These interests must not only be direct, immediate and substantial, [22] but are limited to those people who actually suffered the injury. [23] Because these requirements coincide with the federal requirements, federal jurisprudence construing standing for legislators is instructive. D.
