Just to add to what RZS says, the case upon which the idea that one needs
the approval of an "adam chashuv" namely the Rav of the town, is based on
Baba Basra 9a.  There Rava refused to enforce an agreement between two
(presumably communal) butchers that if either one slaughtered on the other
one's "day", the one whose day it was got the hide.  This is clearly an
agreement that has nothing to do with halacha, but it was struck down
because Rava was in the city, and was an adam chashuv, and he didn't agree
to the deal.
