Authors

Abstract

New York has a statute which provides for suits against unincorporated associations consisting of seven or more members. It reads as follows: An action or special proceeding may be maintained, against the president or treasurer of such an association, * * * upon any cause of action, for or upon which the· plaintiff may maintain such action or special proceeding, against all the associates * * *· Any partnership; or other company of persons, which has a president or treasurer, is, deemed an association within the meaning of this section." General Associations Law (Consol. Laws of N. Y.), sec. 13. Its evident purpose is t0 do away with the common law requirement of naming and serving all the members of the association. The New York supreme court has so declared. Meinhart v. Contresta et al. 194 N. Y. S. 593.
