Interning in a court, and I note that the defendant's brief once had a case dismissed because of potential overreach by the court, but that overreach would not injure the defendant's interests, it would injure others.
I feel like there's a legal or latin term for this kind of argumentation -- where you're acting as if injuries to someone else are actually injuries to you, and requesting relief for those injuries.
Does such a term exist, and if so what is it?
