In case law, a test case is a lawsuit whose purpose is to establish an important legal principle or right and to set a precedent. Test cases are brought to court with the intention of challenging, interpreting, or receiving clarification on a present law, regulation, or constitutional principle. Government agencies sometimes bring test cases to confirm or expand their powers. The outcome of test cases has a wide public significance as it shapes future rulings.
