    What is ultra vires

    This is from Wikipedia:

    Ultra vires is a Latin phrase for "beyond the powers". The ultra vires doctrine typically applies to a corporate body, such as a limited company, a government department or a local council so that any act done by the body which is beyond its capacity to act (and not intra vires) will be considered invalid.

    I suspect that Osco will be grateful that someone helped with his or her homework. :)

    We don't know that for sure. It is an interesting question; I can't help myself out of natural curiosity looking it up and enlightening someone else :) I don't usually assist with homework questions and point that out to the OP if I am sure that is what it is, and they are always quite evident.

    Edit: if you look up the OP's other 3 posts you will see that he is interested in the law
    ; so these aren't really run of the mill homework questions.

    Just before I wrote my previous post, I did look them up (there were 2 others at that time) and they all (including a Salomon v. Salomon question) seemed like homework to me.
