Ratification
Ratification, confirmation. 'A contract of agency may also be created by ratification. Where A. purports to act as agent for B., either having no authority at all or having no authority to do that particular act, the subsequent adoption by B. of A.'s act has the same legal consequences as if B. had originallyauthorised the act. But there can be no ratification unless A purported to act as agent, and to act for B.; and in such a case B alone can ratify. Nor can there be any binding ratification of any agreement which was originally void' (Odgers on the Common Law), or where the principal was not in existence at the time of the act, either in fact or in the contemplation of law as in the case of persons such as trustees in bankruptcy or personal repre-sentatives who acquire title by relation, Kelner v. Baxter, LR 2 CP 174; and see also NOTICE TO QUIT. Omnis ratihabitio retrotrahitur et mandato 'quiparatur (Co. Litt. 207 a). As to the ratification of contracts by infants, see the Infants ...

Agent, a person acting for another, whether by his express or implied authority, the general rule being, that whatever a person may do himself, that he may, as 'principal,' authorize another to do for him, and in accordance with the maxim, qui facit per alium facit per se, to fix him with the same liability in contract or tort as if he had done it himself.

Approval
Approval, in the context of an administrative act, the word 'approval' does not mean anything more than either confirming, ratifying, assenting, sanctioning or consenting, Vijayadevi Narulkishore Bhastia v. Land Accuisition Officer, (2003) 5 SCC 83 (87). [Land Accuisition Act, 1894, s. 11(1)]Approval, does not mean anything more than either conferring, ratifying assenting, sanctioning or consenting.

Land Acquisition Officer, (2003) 5 SCC 83....
Church
Church, includes any chapel or other building generally used for public Christian worship. (Christian Marriage Act, 1872, s. 3)--The Church of England is a distinct branch of Christ's Church, and is also an institution of the State (see the first clause of Magna Carta), of which the sovereign is the supreme head by Act of Parliament (1 Eliz. c. 1), but in what sense is not agreed. According to Sir Wiliam Anson, the sovereign is head of the Church, 'not for the purpose of discharging and spiritual function, but because the Church is the National Church, and as such is built into the fabric of the State' (Law and Custom of the Constitution). 'The establishment of the Churchby law,' says Lord Selborne, 'consists essentially in the incorporation of the law of the Church into that of the realm, as a branch of the general law of the realm, though limited as to the causes to which, and the persons to whom it applies; in the public recognition of its Courts and Judges, as having proper legal j...
