Brief English Introduction
Xie explains that where a legal representative exceeds statutory limits, the counterparty may have a reasonable-review duty. Failure to satisfy that duty does not necessarily make the contract void from the start; rather, attribution to the legal person may depend on ratification.

Use it to move students beyond the binary of “company bound” versus “contract void.”
Teaching Notes
Ask students what the pending-attribution model does to the incentives of the company, representative, and counterparty.
