Ex Parte Stenum Hospital (in Re Elizabeth Duncan and John Duncan v. Madison Square Associates, Ltd.)

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court granted a writ of mandamus and vacated the trial court's order denying the hospital parties' motion to dismiss the mall parties' third‑party complaint, holding that the mall parties lacked standing to assert the claims. The Court reasoned that standing requires a real, tangible legal interest in the subject matter, which the mall parties did not possess.
