Definitions from Case Law
From 297 U.S. 129 - Manhattan General Equipment Co. v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue · 1936Most cited · 1,243 citing opinions
The power of an administrative officer or board to administer a federal statute and to prescribe rules and regulations to that end is not the power to make law, for no such power can be delegated by Congress, but the power to adopt regulations to carry into effect the will of Congress as expressed by the statute. A regulation which does not do this, but operates to create a rule out of harmony with the statute, is a mere nullity.
