Document background
A Legal Authorisation Letter is commonly used when an individual or organization needs to delegate specific powers or responsibilities to another party. This document, governed by English and Welsh law, provides formal authorization for someone to act on behalf of another in specified matters, which may include financial transactions, legal proceedings, or business operations. The letter typically includes clear identification of all parties, specific powers granted, duration of authority, and any limitations or conditions. It serves as legal evidence of the authorization and helps protect both parties' interests by clearly defining the scope of delegated authority.
