STATUTORY INTERPRETATION
6y ago#1"ultra" is the Latin word for 'beyond' or above'
"vires" is the Latin word for 'power'
So ultra vires means 'beyond the power'
When someone, say your immediate superior at work, says that s/he is firing you, that's likely not within their range of authority so it would be beyond their power (or ultra vires)
OK?
