Justiciability

Justiciability concerns the limits upon legal issues over which a court can exercise its judicial authority. It includes, but is not limited to, the legal concept of standing, which is used to determine if the party bringing the suit is a party appropriate to establishing whether an actual adversarial issue exists. Essentially, justiciability seeks to address whether a court possesses the ability to provide adequate resolution of the dispute; where a court believes that it cannot offer such a final determination, the matter is not justiciable.

The principle was further developed in Kuwait Airways Corp. v Iraqi Airways Co.. The doctrine of Crown act of state is that acts of the Government under the royal prerogative, in the field of foreign affairs, are non-justiciable because of their subject-matter. ==In Canada==
