authority
A company's activities are carried out by individuals who have authority to commit the company to a greater or lesser degree. Central authority resides with the directors and they can delegate their authority to others within the Company subject to whatever limitations they choose. The principles are akin to agency and individual officers may bind the company if they are acting within their ostensible or implied authority, even if they are exceeding internal limitation.

@ actual authority
Authority, express or implied, intentionally given by a principal to an agent.

@ adverse authority
Authority that is detrimental to a party's argument or position regarding a question or an issue. Usually, when a lawyer finds such authority, he is under an ethical obligation to reveal it to the court, but it is done in such a way (for example, arguing that the decision in a previous case should be narrowly construed or was wrongly decided) as to minimize the authority's effect upon his client's case.
=> authority.
@ apparent authority
Authority that can be reasonably inferred by a third party to have been given to an agent based upon the third party's dealings with the principal or upon the principal's representations even if the principal did not intend to give the agent such authority.
=> authority.
@ binding authority
@ persuasive authority
Authority that is not binding on a court but still merits consideration. For example, a scholarly work or the decision of a higher court in another jurisdiction.
@ primary authority
Authority that is issued by law-making bodies, such as a court's decision or a statute's legislative history.
@ secondary authority
Authority that analyzes and explains the law, but is not issued by a court or legislature. For example, an annotation, law review article, or legal treatise.
