AI SummaryVerified

Key Takeaways

•The commission is like a company—it can sue or be sued, and make deals with others.
•It has an official stamp (seal) to make documents official.
•If the commission writes something down and signs it, courts will usually believe it’s true.

Example

The commission signs a contract to buy office supplies.

Because the commission is like a company, it can make deals. If someone later says the deal wasn’t real, the commission can show the signed contract in court, and the court will likely trust it.
