The maxim 'delegates non protest delegate' 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 delegate the authority
-
that authority can be delegated under protest by the person to whom it has been given
The maxim 'delegatus non potest delegare' (corrupted in the question as 'delegates non protest delegate') means a delegate cannot delegate their authority to another. This principle of agency law states that when authority is delegated to a person, they must exercise it personally unless the original principal authorizes sub-delegation. This prevents unauthorized passing of responsibility and maintains accountability in agency relationships.
