WAEC - Government (2022 - No. 43)
When a superior court declares an action of the executive ultra-vires, it means that
the executive should leave power
a vote of no confidence had been passed on the government
the judiciary is more powerful than the executive
the action is illegal and of no effect
Explanation
"Ultra vires" is a Latin term meaning "beyond the powers." If a court rules that an executive action is ultra vires, it means that the action was taken beyond the authority granted to the executive, making it invalid and unenforceable.
