official act

official act
An act done by an officer in his official capacity, under color and by virtue of his office. An act need not be a lawful act that it may be an official one. If this were not so, the sureties on his official bond would never be responsible. Greenberg v People's use of Balaban, 225 Ill 174, 80 NE 100. To constitute official action, it is not necessary that it shall be prescribed by statute nor that it be prescribed by a written rule or regulation. Duties are often established by settled practice. Whitney v United States (CA10 Okla) 99 F2d 327.
