ultra vires (latin) refers to acting beyond one's powers i.e. with regard to what is provided for by law. delegated statutes for example are expected to be set within the constraints of the country's constitution. any by- laws that exceed the limitations of provided for by a constitution will be deemed ultra vires as by-laws as the constitution is superior to delegated law and will be considered null and void to the extent of its difference.
