481.09 PROOF OF AUTHORITY.
A court, upon motion and hearing, and when reasonable grounds are shown, may require
any attorney to prove the attorney's authority to appear and, until such proof is made, may stay
all proceedings by the attorney on behalf of the party the attorney assumes to represent. At any
stage of the proceedings the court may relieve a party from the consequences of the unauthorized
acts of an attorney and, upon motion, may summarily compel such attorney to repair any injury
resulting therefrom.
