Justiciable refers to a matter or issue that is capable of being adjudicated or resolved by a court of law. It typically implies that the dispute or controversy involves legal rights or obligations that can be addressed through legal proceedings. A justiciable issue is one that falls within the jurisdiction of a court and is subject to judicial review and resolution. Examples of justiciable matters include contract disputes, property rights, constitutional questions, and other legal controversies that can be decided by a court. In contrast, non-justiciable issues are those that are beyond the scope of judicial authority, such as political questions or matters involving purely moral or ethical considerations.
