COMMERCIAL LAW – RATIFICATION – Meaning and effect of ratification

Uncategorised

“Black’s Law Dictionary, 8th Edition defines “ratification” as follows: “Confirmation and acceptance of a previous act, thereby making the act valid from the moment it was done.” The effect of ratification therefore, is to put the parties in the same position as they would have been had the act ratified been previously authorised.
