Abstract

The case concerns standing to sue of the Plaintiffs, who were living and cultivating in Na Rek subdistrict, to request the Court to order revocation of Na Rek Subdistrict Administrative Organisation’s issurance of a license allowing pig farming in the area.

The Court determined that the Plaintiffs were local communities and had community rights enshrined and protected under Section 66 and 67 first paragraph of the Constitution B.E. 2550. The Plaintiffs therefore were persons who were or may be inevitably aggrieved or injured in consequence of the act of the Defendents and as a result had standing to sue.

Because the case concerned the protection of public interest, the case was not barred by prescription.
