Definition: "Ultra vires" is Latin for "beyond the powers." It refers to actions taken by a public body or official that exceed the legal authority granted to them by law.
When a constable, council, or court acts ultra vires, their actions are void in law — not voidable — but null from the beginning, with no legal force or standing.
