Here the law of [[agency]] lends an innocent contracting party a hand, with the doctrine of [[ostensible authority]] meaning one can rely on someone who seems to have appropriate {{repprov|authority}} even if she doesn’t, as long as you don’t (or can not reasonably have been expected to) know that. <br> | Whether the fellow who purports to sign the {{t|contract}} for your counterparty has any [[Ostensible authority|ostensible]] grounds to do — whether she is properly appointed by the board or, by dint of her role within the organisation, has the general authority to sign — so is a question of her ''{{repprov|authority}}''.
