    Thus, even if a person’s statutory right has been violated, that person does not havestanding to maintain an action to vindicate that right unless the violation of the right caused himsome other harm, such as the loss of money.In doing so, Spokeo changed the law of standing for suits between private parties. Formany years, the Court said that standing could rest on a statutory violation. See, e.g., HavensRealty Corp. v. Coleman, 455 U.S. 363, 373-74 (1982) (basing standing on the violation of the“statutorily created right to truthful housing information”); Sierra Club v. Morton, 405 U.S. 727,732 (1972) (declaring that standing can rest either on a “specific statute authorizing invocation ofthe judicial process” or on a “personal stake in the outcome”). The Court began to change coursein Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife, 504 U.S. 555 (1992).
