	Ultra vires - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ultra vires is a Latin phrase that literally means "beyond the power." Its inverse is called intra vires, meaning "within the power".
		In corporate law, ultra vires describes acts attempted by a corporation that are beyond the scope of powers granted by the corporation's charter, the laws authorizing its formation, or similar founding documents.
		Broad ultra vires applies if there is an abuse of power (e.g., Wednesbury unreasonableness or bad faith) or a failure to exercise an administrative discretion (e.g., acting at the behest of another or unlawfully applying a government policy).

	CONSTITUTIONAL LOGIC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		But it corresponds to what academics call 'the ultra vires doctrine' - the view that the constitutional justification for judicial review of the exercise of statutory powers is that the courts are giving effect to limitations that were imposed by Parliament when it granted the power.
		His skilful and sophisticated book traces the involutions of the academic debate between the 'ultra vires theory' (that judicial control of the exercise of statutory powers is justified by the intention of Parliament) and the 'common law theory' (that it is justified by the courts' own constitutional responsibility for the rule of law).
		The theory he calls the 'traditional ultra vires doctrine' held that when Parliament conferred a statutory power on the authority to dismiss the police chief, it intended that the authority should give a hearing first.

		It may, however, be a defence to claim that the SI was issued ultra vires; that is, the Minister who issued it was acting beyond the powers conferred by the original Statute.
