Document background
Letters of Authority are essential legal instruments in Hong Kong's business and personal legal framework, used when an individual or organization (the principal) needs to delegate specific powers or authorities to another party (the agent). These documents are particularly crucial in situations where the principal cannot be physically present or requires representation in specific matters. The document must comply with Hong Kong's legal requirements, particularly the Powers of Attorney Ordinance, and typically includes clear identification of all parties, specific powers granted, duration of authority, and execution requirements. Letters of Authority can be used for various purposes, from simple one-time authorizations to complex, ongoing business arrangements, and may require notarization or additional formalities depending on their intended use.
