Delegation: Difference between revisions

*[[Nemo dat quod non habet]] one cannot give, or delegate, a right you don’t have.  

This latter one ought, but does not, nix that tedious drafting construction: “neither X, ''[[nor anyone acting on its behalf]]'', may do Y”. For if, by the lights of the law, X has no right to do a thing, it follows as a matter of ineffable Latin logic that nor may any of X’s servants, [[agent]]s, [[mediocre lawyer|attorney]]s, [[nominee]]s or [[delegate]]s, unless that person happens independently to have {{sex|her}} own right to do it, conferred by some other means — in which case this stipulation will singularly fail to prevent that person from doing that thing anyway.
