A lawyer files an urgent action to avoid forfeiture of a right without a power of attorney. What does Article 104 of the Code of Civil Procedure allow?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. To act without the power of attorney, which must be submitted within fifteen days, extendable once for fifteen more

  1. Step 1: Article 104 allows acts without a power of attorney to avoid forfeiture or limitation, or for urgent acts. Step 2. The document must be presented within fifteen days, extendable once by the judge. Answer: To act without the power of attorney, which must be submitted within fifteen days, extendable once for fifteen more. Why not the others: five days without extension is wrong, filing is not void and the power of attorney does not become optional.
