CJI-Civ. 8:14
Ratification — Definition and Effect
A person may act as the agent for another without authority. If the person for whom
the act was done has full knowledge of all the important facts, that person may, by words
or conduct, ratify or accept the action after it was done. Ratification after the action is the
same as authorization before the action.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
