Law/Patents - Law (general)
French term or phrase: qualité d'organe
From arbitration court papers:

Certes, alors qu'il était initialement prévu que ce contrat serait signé par M. Z, il l'a été seulement par M. E au nom de l'acheteur... M. E n'ayant ni la qualité d'organe de la société défenderesse ni même de pouvoir écrit pour agir en son nom, sa signature n'emporte nullement présomption qu'il aurait agi au nom de cette société
