naked authority

Read a random definition: indefensus

A quick definition of naked authority:

Naked authority is when someone gives permission to another person to do something, but only for their own benefit and without giving anything in return. This type of authority can be taken away at any time. There are other types of authority, like actual authority (when someone intentionally gives permission to another person), apparent authority (when someone seems to have permission even if they don't), and implied authority (when permission is given through actions instead of words). Authority can also refer to the power of a government agency or the weight of a legal decision used to support an argument.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Naked authority is a type of authority where the principal delegates power to an agent solely for their benefit, without giving any consideration to the agent. This authority can be revoked by the principal at any time.

Example: A homeowner hires a gardener to maintain their lawn. The homeowner gives the gardener the authority to purchase gardening tools and supplies as needed. However, the homeowner does not give the gardener any compensation or benefit for purchasing the tools. This is an example of naked authority.

This example illustrates that the gardener has the power to purchase tools, but they do not have any legal right to keep the tools or use them for their own benefit. The homeowner can revoke the gardener's authority at any time, and the gardener must return any tools or supplies purchased with the homeowner's money.
