The trustees of any registered trade union, or any other officer of such trade union who may be authorised so to do by the rules thereof, are empowered to bring or defend, or cause to be brought or defended, any action, suit, prosecution or complaint in any Court of law or equity, touching or concerning the property, right or claim to property of the trade union, and, in all such cases, to sue and be sued, plead and be impleaded, in any Court of law or equity, in their proper names, without other description than the title of their office.
No such action, suit, prosecution or complaint shall be discontinued or shall abate by the death or removal from office of such persons or any of them, but it may be proceeded in by their successor or successors, as if such death, resignation or removal had not taken place; and such successors shall pay or receive the like costs as if the action, suit, prosecution or complaint had been commenced in their names for the benefit of or to be reimbursed from the funds of such trade union.
The summons to be issued to such trustee or other officer may be served by leaving the same at the registered office of the trade union.
