This analyzes a case that may be more like Asker's. The party arguably subject to joinder (consorité) is a partner or co-owner rather than a parliament.

Asker: No, I think everyone's English here and in the Romanian paper is excellent! However, as a native Eng speaker trained as a US lawyer, I find "standing to be sued" is a strange expression which I wouldn't expect to see or use in US litigation. (For instance, the concept is expressly rejected in this decision by a lower US court: https://www.chicagoiplitigation.com/2011/09/party-cannot-lac...
If your Eng document will be used in Switzerland, that may be a different story. But I wouldn't want to recommend an Eng phrase here without first reading at least the materials at https://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish_to_english/law_general/18... and perhaps more. After more reading and thought I might conclude that your case is the kind discussed in the Romanian paper and that Eng speaking lawyers world would approach it as more a problem of "joinder" or "liability" of the partner rather than "standing." But your whole question may be much easier for some other commenter - maybe a European practitioner - than for me.

More briefly: in Eng. jurisprudence, standing is a privilege while liability is a misfortune. "Standing to be sued" sounds strange because it says standing but seems to mean liability, like saying someone is "entitled to be punched in the nose." In non-Eng. jurisprudence, the concept of standing apparently is much broader.

Without seeing the context, it seems like one of the partners in your case is complaining that they should have been joined as a co-defendant or should be allowed to intervene as a cross claimant or third party defendant, because they claim a right to be heard in the matter. In the US we wouldn't view this as a claim that they have a right to be sued or have standing to be sued. No one wants to be sued.

: standing to sue and be sued = locus standii

OK thanks (sp. standi) although the client may not appreciate the abandonment of all vernaculars. In fact one of my profs used to refer to every cause of action as "locus in the pocus."

: unless you are indulging in irony/satire/sarcasm "entitled to be punched in the nose" does sound odd!
