There -is- a principle in Australian law know as 'Ostensible
Authority' , unfortunatele I am not sure if this principle extends beyond
contract law, but if it does, then where it is reasonable to assume that
the person has authority to act on behalf of the organisation, then
actions performed by that person are official. Again, I'm not sure if
this extends beyond contract law as I am not a lawyer.
