Providing a clear and precise statement of the law and comprehensive practical guidance this book addresses the formation, administration, and financial management of unincorporated associations and the commonly occuring problems that arise. As well as content on practical matters such as rules, committees, and registration of names, the book gives clear guidance on the classification of unincorporated associations and on distinguishing them from other forms of
clubs. It also addresses disciplinary action against members, as well as both tortious and contractual liability and civil court procedure, providing a complete source of reference for those involved in advising all types of unincorporated association.

The implementation of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, along with related statutes, has affected the right of membership to an unincorporated association and the manner in which a member may be disciplined for breach of rules. The book provides unique guidance on these changes as well as the impact of those affected by the Woolf reforms on disputes concerning unincorporated associations.

Zielgruppe

Legal practitioners and company lawyers involved in advising unincorporated associations and in dispute resolution related to unincorporated associations in England, Wales, and other commonwealth jurisdictions. It will also be of interest to those running unincorporated associations, as well as public authorities and national governing bodies
