A public-interest plaintiff refers to an individual who initiates lawsuits aimed at protecting the community beyond personal interests. The emergence of public-interest plaintiffs can be traced to contemporary social and political developments. This phenomenon responds to the growing need of societies to safeguard public interests against institutionalized powers. The nature of public interest lawsuits lies in their collective purpose. These are cases intended to protect rights and interests that belong to the entire community or a significant portion of it. The importance of examining this concept has been increasing due to the expansion of social movements and the growing recognition of collective rights. By filing lawsuits against governmental or private entities that harm public interests, public-interest plaintiffs not only hold these entities accountable under the law but also create avenues for remedying harm to the affected community. This study seeks to answer questions regarding the nature of public-interest plaintiffs, their impact on legal structures, and the readiness of the Iranian legal system to accept and adjudicate public-interest lawsuits brought by such plaintiffs. The findings indicate that public-interest plaintiffs can effect changes in the interpretation and implementation of laws and contribute to strengthening the democratic aspects of the legal system.
