Legal Definitions - resulting power

Definition: Resulting power refers to the power that arises from a particular situation or circumstance. It is a type of power that is not explicitly granted, but rather, is a natural consequence of a particular situation.

Example: A parent who entrusts their child with a car may not explicitly grant them the power to sell the car, but the child may have the resulting power to do so if it is necessary to pay for repairs or other expenses related to the car.

The example illustrates how resulting power can arise from a particular situation, even if it is not explicitly granted. In this case, the child has the power to sell the car because it is a natural consequence of being entrusted with it.
