Delegata potestas non potest delegari is a principle in constitutional and administrative law that means in Latin that "no delegated powers can be further delegated". Alternatively, it can be stated delegatus non potest delegare ("one to whom power is delegated cannot himself further delegate that power").[1]
The principle is present in several jurisdictions such as that of the United States, the United Kingdom and India as well as in Catholic canon law.
