Aggrieved
Party
Under the rules of California and
a number of other jurisdictions
only aggreived parties can appeal
a particular order or judgement.
The Calif. Supreme
Court has defined an aggrieved party
as one whose rights or interests
are injuriously affected by a judgment.
The party's interest 'must be immediate,
pecuniary, and substantial and not
nominal or a remote consequence
of the judgment. . . . . ' Hensley
v. Hensley (1987) 190 Cal.App.3d
895, 898-899.
See Rebney v. Wells
Fargo Bank (1990) 220 Cal.App.3d
1117, 1132 [In determining whether
party is aggrieved to have standing
on appeal, '[t]he guiding principle
is one often encountered in daily
life: no harm, no foul.'].
