‘In a detailed judgment handed down today (14 January), Mrs Justice Lieven has ruled that, as a matter of principle, unincorporated associations have capacity to bring both judicial review proceedings and statutory challenges in their own name. Whilst in certain circumstances the addition or substitution of named individuals may be necessary for practical reasons such as security for costs, or where there is uncertainty about membership of the body, the inclusion of named individuals is not necessary for the validity of the claim.’

“The assets of an unincorporated association, which was not a charity and which had ceased to exist due to the fall in its membership to below two, did not pass to the Crown as bona vacantia but vested in the sole surviving member of the association.”
