A Certificate of Corporate Authority is commonly required when companies need to demonstrate to third parties that specific individuals have been properly authorized to act on the company's behalf. This document, governed by English and Welsh law, typically follows a board resolution and includes details of the authority granted, any limitations, and the identity of authorized individuals. It's particularly important in significant transactions where third parties need assurance about the legitimacy of company representatives' authority.
