It allows them to understand the nature and consequences of legal proceedings, and to make rational decisions about protecting their legal rights and interests. Without the capacity to litigate, individuals may be at risk of making uninformed decisions, being taken advantage of by others, or not receiving a fair outcome in legal disputes.
