Actions, &c., by or against trustees, &c.

9. The trustees of any trade union registered under this Act or any other
officer of such trade union who may be authorized so to do by the rules
thereof, are hereby 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 shall and may, in all cases concerning the real or
personal property of such trade union, 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; and 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 the same shall and 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, and 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.
