The following excerpt is from Rutherford v. Evans Hotels, LLC, Case No.: 18-CV-435 JLS (MSB) (S.D. Cal. 2020):
Further, "an association has standing to bring suit on behalf of its members when: (a) its members would otherwise have standing to sue in their own right; (b) the interests it seeks to protect are germane to the organization's purpose; and (c) neither the claim asserted nor the relief requested requires the participation of individual members in the lawsuit." Hunt v. Wash. State Apple Advert. Comm'n, 432 U.S. 333, 343 (1977). Claims for declaratory and injunctive relief do not require individualized proof, thereby satisfying the third prong. See id. at 344.
