DE VARGAS SAVINGS & L. ASS'N OF SANTA v. Campbellgreen

2 sentences

2008Injury in fact has evolved in New Mexico jurisprudence in response to developments in federal law that created a more flexible standard, departing from older, more formalistic notions of a “legally protected interest.” See De Vargas Sav. & Loan Ass’n v. Campbell, 87 N.M. 469, 471 , 535 P.2d 1320, 1323 (1975) (noting that “[t]he flaw in the ‘legal interest’ test is that it requires a court to examine the merits of a case, while the purpose of the standing question is quite distinct — to protect against improper plaintiffs”).
