examining authority

Read a random definition: choice of jurisdiction

A quick definition of examining authority:

Examining authority refers to the power given to someone to act on behalf of another person or organization. This can be either actual authority, which is intentionally given by the principal, or apparent authority, which is believed by a third party based on their dealings with the principal. Other types of authority include express authority, implied authority, and incidental authority. Authority can also refer to the power of a government agency or corporation, or to a legal writing that is considered definitive or decisive, such as a judicial decision or statute.

A more thorough explanation:

Examining authority refers to the power or permission given to someone to act legally on behalf of another person or entity. This can include the power delegated by a principal to an agent to affect legal relations. There are different types of authority, including:

  • Actual authority: Authority intentionally given by the principal to the agent or authority that the agent reasonably believes they have as a result of their dealings with the principal.
  • Apparent authority: Authority that a third party reasonably believes an agent has, based on their dealings with the principal, even though the principal did not confer or intend to confer the authority.
  • Implied authority: Authority intentionally given by the principal to the agent as a result of the principal's conduct, such as the principal's earlier acquiescence to the agent's actions.

For example, if a person hires a real estate agent to sell their house, the agent has actual authority to sign a contract with a buyer on behalf of the seller. If a third party, such as a potential buyer, reasonably believes that the agent has the authority to sell the house, even if the seller did not explicitly give them that authority, the agent has apparent authority. If the seller has previously allowed the agent to make decisions about the sale of the house, the agent may have implied authority to make decisions about the sale.

Examining authority can also refer to a self-regulatory organization registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission that oversees the activities of a registered broker or dealer.

Finally, authority can also refer to a legal writing, such as a judicial or administrative decision, that is taken as definitive or decisive. This can include primary authority, such as legislation and reports of litigated cases, or secondary authority, such as treatises or law-review articles.

Feeling like sad drinking tonight, wife accidentally tossed out my truck keys and those are expensive as fuck to replace. The crappiest part is that the key chain had the "remove before flight" tab from my first aircraft's rocket pods overseas from 6 years ago. Then find out people fucked around and back dated reports at work making me look like a shit bag so I am working later tonight and missing range time which is my weekly relax/me time. Add in my sleep meds stopped working, so I am thinking vodka (so I stay skinny and hot) and pizza by the fireplace kind of friday.
