excess of jurisdiction

excess of jurisdiction
An act which, although within the general power of the judge, is not authorized and therefore void with respect to the particular case, because the conditions which alone authorize the exercise of his general power in that particular case are wanting, and hence the judicial power is not lawfully invoked. 30A Am J Rev ed Judges § 78.
