TRADE UNION ACT 1871 - SECT 11

Treasurers, &c. to account.

11. Every treasurer or other officer of a trade union registered under
this Act, at such times as by the rules of such trade union he should render
such account as herein-after mentioned, or upon being required so to do, shall
render to the trustees of the trade union, or to the members of such
trade union, at a meeting of the trade union, a just and true account of all
moneys received and paid by him since he last rendered the like account, and
of the balance then remaining in his hands, and of all bonds or securities of
such trade union, which account the said trustees shall cause to be audited by
some fit and proper person or persons by them to be appointed; and such
treasurer, if thereunto required, upon the said account being audited, shall
forthwith hand over to the said trustees the balance which on such audit
appears to be due from him, and shall also, if required, hand over to such
trustees all securities and effects, books, papers, and property of the said
trade union in his hands or custody; and if he fail to do so the trustees of
the said trade union may sue such treasurer in any competent court for the
balance appearing to have been due from him upon the account last rendered by
him, and for all the moneys since received by him on account of the said
trade union, and for the securities and effects, books, papers, and property
in his hands or custody, leaving him to set off in such action the sums, if
any, which he may have since paid on account of the said trade union; and in
such action the said trustees shall be entitled to recover their full costs of
suit, to be taxed as between attorney and client.
