| 1151886 | 2010-11-10 19:38:00 | Hi Guys- Quick Question for anyone with a legal mind If a student association is not registered or struck off from the Incorporated Societies listings, does that mean it doesn't have the right to ask for fees under the law for compulsary sa fees? Would this require an 'organization' to be a legal entity? As much as it could going soon, it seems interesting for my universities SA as a friend bought it up last night that it was struck off at the beginning of the year and has been the subject of mismanagement throughout its entire term. Cheers :punk |

The people running the club are personally liable for debts and claims. You cannot be compelled to join or pay fees. Of course that means you can't have any benefits either. |
