Fei Subject: Re: [CCWG-ACCT] member organization and single membership structure I have read that now. The question that does not appear to have been not answer, or even asked in that Membe, seems to be: "Does a Unincorporated Association have Limited Liability? More specifically, in what cirumstances may the members or offices of the UA be held responsible for the debts, money judgments or other pecuniary liabilities of the UA if the UA does not have the resources to pay them." I think the answer to this has already been given, earlier, and by construing those clauses, it seems thams that officers and members have unlimited personal liability if the Association cannot pay. (If I am wrong in that conclusion, please provide the section number of the relevant statute that confers Limited Liability protection on members and officers) On 09/07/15 17:23, James Gannon wrote:
