arbitration proceedings
exceed his/her ???
Arbitration proceedings, where the arbitrators are accused of exceeding their 'uppdrag'. I know they can exceed their authority, but can they exceed 'instructions' or 'assignments' or 'orders' in legalese, does anyone know please?
Thanks in advance,
Helen

Swedish term (edited):

Selected
exceed its mandate
Purely a hunch. I'm sure someone with more legal expertise will know the correct term in the context.

Sorry - that should have been \"exceed their mandate\".

exceed their powers
I wouldn´t use assignment (smacks of homework)and "exceeding orders" sounds more military to me. One can have the power of attorney or to act on someone´s behalf, which I believe is what you´re looking for.

EKM
: ...or 'authority', sound best to me. 'Act in excess of...' might be another solution.
