Unincorporated Associations in UK Law

Huntingdon Life Sciences v Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty
“
I now turn to the possible applicability of CPR 19.6 to the defendants. The defendants include nine individuals and three groups who the claimants allege are unincorporated associations. The evidence about the existence and composition of the eleventh and twelfth defendants is unspecific. There is sufficient to persuade me that those defendants exist as groups and are part of the alleged campaign against employees of the first claimant.

A v The Trustees of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society (First Defendants) The Trustees of the Loughborough Blackbrook Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses (Second Defendants) The Trustees of the Loughborough Southwood Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses (Third Defendants)
“
Elders are selected for appointment based on scriptural qualifications and will be mature spiritual men who have been baptised for many years, will be viewed as good examples in Christian living and previously will have served as ministerial servants ( 1 Timothy 3:1–7 and Titus 1:5–9). However, elders are not considered to be closer to God or superior persons ( Job 32:21,22).
That leaves the issue of vicarious liability for the elders. As summarised earlier in paragraphs 10–18, the elders had additional responsibilities to those held by ministerial servants. They were even closer and more integrated with congregational issues than were ministerial servants. They had a spiritual role and partly exercised that role, via the judicial committee, and decisions of the body consequent upon decisions of the judicial committee.

R v L and Another
“
There are probably almost as many different types of unincorporated association as there are forms of human activity. This particular one was a club with 900 odd members, substantial land, buildings and other assets, and it had no doubt stood as an entity in every sense except the legal for many years. But the legal description 'unincorporated association' applies equally to any collection of individuals linked by agreement into a group.

Conservative and Unionist Central Office v Burrell
“
I infer that by "unincorporated association" in this context Parliament meant two or more persons bound together for one or more common purposes, not being business purposes, by mutual undertakings, each having mutual duties and obligations, in an organisation which has rules which identify in whom control of it and its funds rests and upon what terms and which can be joined or left at will. The bond of union between the members of an unincorporated association has to be contractual.

Mohinder Singh Khaira and Others v Daljit Singh Shergill and Others
“
The law treats unincorporated religious communities as voluntary associations. It views the constitution of a voluntary religious association as a civil contract as it does the contract of association of a secular body: the contract by which members agree to be bound on joining an association sets out the rights and duties of both the members and its governing organs.

Hunt v McLaren
“
The general rule is that a gift on trust must have a cestui que trust and must be for the benefit of individuals, unless charitable. It must have a definite object, and there must be someone in whose favour the court can enforce it.
