It is imperative to note that a Power of Attorney does not confer unlimited authority to act at one's discretion. The Supreme Court case of Frederick J.K. Zaabwe v. Orient Bank Limited & 5 Others (Civil Appeal No. 4 of 2006) extensively redefined the scope of a Power of Attorney (PoA) in land transactions and established stringent compliance rules for commercial banks and land registries. The Supreme Court held that a Power of Attorney must be strictly construed, permitting only actions expressly authorized or necessarily implied. The PoA granted to Mars Trading did not authorize the mortgaging of Zaabwe's property to secure loans for Mars Trading. The bank failed to verify whether the PoA permitted such a transaction. The execution of a mortgage by the 1st and 2nd respondents to secure borrowing by the 2nd respondent, rather than the appellant, far exceeded the authority granted under the Power of Attorney.
