Unincorporated association definition
What does Unincorporated association mean?
An unincorporated association is an organisation formed when two or more persons (the
members) carry on activities together for a common purpose, but which does not operate for the purpose of generating profit (which would instead constitute a
partnership'>
general partnership). An association is not a separate legal entity from its members and officers, which means that the officers and members are personally liable for the debts and obligations of the association, and it may not enter into contracts, own assets, sue or be sued in its own name.
