Hebrew term or phrase: כי עומדת להם לכאורה עילת תביעה אישית

In a discussion about whether a group is eligible to file a class action suit the following phrase is used

כי עומדת להם לכאורה עילת תביעה אישית

Would the proper way to translate this be

Since they seem to have standing to file.....

I am not sure since the "standing" in this case refers to the grounds and not the person.
