23 March 2013 what is ultra vires?
can anyone tell me in simple words?

23 March 2013 ‘Ultra’ means beyond, and ‘vires’ means powers. Memorandum of Association of a company defines the powers of a company. Any act done contrary to or in excess of the scope of the activity of the company as laid down by its memorandum of association is ultra-vires the company, i.e., beyond the legal powers and authority of the company, and shall be wholly void and not binding on the company.
