En parlant des «effets» des documents juridiques, «statutory authority» désigne le «fondement» ou la «force de loi» conférant le pouvoir d'agir à une entité. C'est le contexte qui indique le choix de l'équivalent. Les expressions «autorisation statutaire», «pouvoir statutaire» ou «autorité statutaire» qu'on rencontre parfois dans les textes sont à éviter. 3, record 2, French, - fondement%20l%C3%A9gislatif
