jurisdictional error
C2CEFR level
80/100Rarity: very rare
TechnicalRegister
A mistake that takes a decision-maker outside the lawful bounds of its power, rendering the decision a nullity.
Because the board misconstrued the eligibility threshold, it committed a jurisdictional error going to the root of its authority.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
