Interpretive Development of the Norm Cluster on Ultra Vires Representation

越权代表规范群的解释论展开

Develops an interpretive account of the group of rules governing ultra vires acts by the single legal representative.

Brief English Introduction

Yao and Zhang frame unauthorized representative acts as a systemic problem produced by China’s single legal representative structure. Their analysis asks how the legal rules should protect corporate personality while still keeping external transactions predictable.

Use It For

Use it after the cases so students can see how individual disputes form a larger normative cluster.

Teaching Notes

Ask students whether a “representative theory” account produces different results from an agency account in hard cases.
