| 单词 | Authority to act |
| 释义 | 行事權力 The express or implied power of a legal practitioner as agent of the client to bind the client in dealings with third parties. A legal practitioner retained to act in contentious work has implied authority to bind the client in a wide range of matters including the compromise or settlement of the action: Little v Spreadbury [1910] 2 KB 658. The scope of a legal practitioner’s implied power to bind the client in non-contentious work is more limited. A legal practitioner who commences or defends court proceedings warrants his or her authority to do so: Myers v Elman [1939] 4 All ER 484, [1940] AC 282 (HL). Where costs are wasted as a result of a solicitor commencing or defending proceedings without authority the court may order the solicitor to pay those costs: Yonge v Toynbee [1910] 1 KB 215 (CA); Re Raja Enterprises Ltd [1978] HKLR 249 (HC). See also Express authority; Implied authority; Retainer. 作為客戶的代理人、法律工作者在與第三者進行的交易上，擁有令其客戶受約束的明示或隱含的權力。在具爭訟性的事務上受聘行事的法律執業者，就廣泛的事項上均有隱含的權力，令其客戶受約束，包括就訴訟作出妥協或和解：Little v Spreadbury [1910] 2 KB 658。在非爭訟性事務上，法律執業者令其客戶受約束的隱含權力的範圍較有限。代表客戶展開法律程序或作出辯護的法律執業者，保證他有客戶授予的權力如此行事：Myers v Elman [1939] 4 All ER 484, [1940] AC 282（上議院）。若律師並無權力展開法律程序或作出辯護並引致訟費的浪費，法庭可命令該律師支付該筆訟費：Yonge v Toynbee [1910] 1 KB 215（上訴法院）；Re Raja Enterprises Ltd [1978] HKLR 249（高等法院）。另見 Express authority; Implied authority; Retainer。 |
