A quick definition of intra vires:

Term: INTRA VIRES

Definition: Intra vires means that an action taken is within the legal authority or power of a corporation or person. For example, calling a shareholders' meeting is an intra vires function of the board of directors. It is the opposite of ultra vires, which means an action taken is beyond the legal authority or power of a corporation or person.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Intra vires (in-trə vI-reez) is a Latin term that means "within the powers of." It refers to an action taken by a corporation or person that is within their scope of authority.

Example: Calling a shareholders' meeting is an intra vires function of the board of directors.
