Interesting, thanks.
Ultra Vires — “beyond man” — crimes by angels, for example.
But presumably a lesser class of crimes than “Acts of God”.
God is of course Ultra Vires in a logical sense, but we are speaking here of law and theology, not logic.
UPDATE (and tip of the hat):
@kennykb observes:
It’s actually derived from ‘vis’, ‘power’, ‘force’, not ‘vir’, ‘man’, so ‘beyond the powers’ - beyond the authority of the court.
‘Beyond men’ would be ‘ultra viros’; ‘beyond [a] man’ would be ‘ultra virum’.
