The maxim 'delegatus non potest delegare' means
-
a person whom authority has been given cannot delegate the authority to another
-
a person whom authority has been given can delegate the authority to another with prior permission
-
a person whom authority has been given to indemnify agent for injury caused by principal's neglect can be delegated
-
an authority can be delegated under protest by the person to whom authority has been given
The Latin maxim 'delegatus non potest delegare' means that a delegate cannot further delegate their authority - the person to whom authority has been given cannot pass it on to another. This principle ensures that delegated authority remains with the intended delegate. Option B incorrectly suggests delegation is possible with permission, while options C and D introduce concepts not related to the core meaning of this maxim.
