French term or phrase: lesquels ne doivent pas justifier d'une délibération préalable du Conseil
La société est représentée dans tous les actes, y compris ceux où interviennent un fonctionnaire public ou un officier ministériel et en justice, soit par deux administrateurs agissant conjointement ou par un administrateur délégué agissant seul, lesquels ne doivent pas justifier d'une délibération préalable du Conseil envers les tiers, en ce compris Messieurs les Conservateurs des Hypothèques

English translation:and such representative(s) need not provide third parties, including [X], with... [see explanation]
Explanation:
To avoid the "whom" and the lack of clarity, I would rephrase as "and such representative(s)." This type of rephrasing is often needed when going FR>EN because the gender and number in French often permits identification of who is being referred to, but we lack those tags in EN.

So:

...and such representative(s) need not provide third parties, including the Registrars of Mortgages, with evidence of any prior resolution of the Board.

Or,

...and such representative(s) need not provide evidence of any prior resolution of the Board to third parties, including the Registrars of Mortgages.

lesquels ne doivent pas justifier d'une délibération préalable du Conseil > envers les tiers
(all of whom) need not show to third parties any proof of a prior resolution of the Board


Explanation:
alt. 'furnish evidence' for a pompous and pedantic variation on a theme.

Bring forward 'envers les tiers' in the translation, although the positioning - tacked on to the end of the sentence - slightly ambiguous for '... of the Board in dealings with'.

agree  Tony M: Yes, it's easy to forget that 'ne doit pas...' can means 'does not have to' as well as 'has not to'

  -> Thanks, Tony. Using the verb of 'obliger' - ne sont pas obligés de .... - might have put across the message rather better.
agree  B D Finch: Though I think I'd avoid "whom" ending up as a subject and prefer "who need not show ..."
