他是公司董事、依法获授权的代表，还是只是经办人？身份不同，能否让公司受约束，判断结果完全不同。
有没有董事会决议、授权文件或公司章程支持他签这笔交易？授权范围是否覆盖这份合同？授权是否仍在有效期内？
香港公司怎样签署、用印才算有效缔约，形式要求与内地并不完全一样，不能照搬内地的习惯去推定。
签约前，把“对方签字的人到底有没有权”确认一遍，常常比后面补救便宜得多。
Cross-border · Authority chain
In a cross-border transaction, one question is easy to skip yet potentially fatal: whether the person signing the contract actually has authority to bind the other company.
Is the person a director, a duly authorised representative, or merely a business contact? Each answer changes whether the company can be bound at all.
Do board resolutions, authorisation documents or constitutional documents support this deal? Does the authority cover this contract — and is it still in force?
How a Hong Kong company validly executes and seals a contract follows formalities that should not be inferred from mainland practice.
Verifying authority before signing is usually far cheaper than repairing a broken contract afterwards.
