Abstract
The primary purpose of this Article is to provide citizen enforcers
of environmental laws with an efficient tool for establishing standing

This Article also significantly contributes to the literature on ultra
vires statutes in corporate law by tracing their historical origins in greater detail, clarifying terminology, and summarizing recent case
law that explicitly affirms the power of ultra vires statutes.
