What do you think “standing” means as a legal term?
It means that you suffer personal material harm which means that you have a legitimate interest in seeing a legal request be acted upon by the judiciary.
Layman’s terms.
God knows that things that affect EVERYBODY aren’t worthy of judicial attention. cough.
I actually wonder what whistle-blower laws would say about all this.
Obviously you haven’t a clue.
Anyone who has been denied a UIPA request for records has automatic standing with a right to a judicial appeal.
Our problem is finding an attorney to file that appeal.
So, I can EASILY imagine, that an COURT APPEAL would be automatic if you were to be declared “vexatious.”
Read and weep, LOSER:
“What are an individual’s rights if denied a record?
Under the UIPA, an individual can:
* appeal a denial of access to a government record, including personal records, to the OIP; or
[Haw. Rev. Stat. § 92F-15.5]
* bring an action against the agency in circuit court.
[Haw. Rev. Stat. § 92F-15]
An individual does not have to appeal to the OIP before filing a lawsuit.
[Haw. Rev. Stat. § 92F-15.5]”
