They started as a (closed) group on Facebook, but after an initial meeting, a membership list, a logo and a website are in development and they want to actively work with flyers to create name recognition and recruit members.\n\n There is no official board yet, but there are a number of people who have indicated that they are interested in a future board position and these people are currently also the initiators and points of contact for interested parties.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n the group of people has now acquired the characteristics of an informal association. It is important that you keep an eye on how the liability of the initiators\/directors is arranged.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Addition: an informal association must have some form of regulations ('articles of association' or 'bylaws' or similar) and a membership list.\n \nAn informal association is a legal entity, but unlike an association with full legal capacity (which is established by notarial deed), the board of an informal association is personally liable for the debts of the association.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Thanks gentlemen, then I didn't remember it that badly from my student days after all.\n\n There is one thing I can't find yet. What exactly does personal liability entail in the case of an informal association? Suppose Jantje orders a load of t-shirts for the association, can the supplier also recover this obligation from Pietje if the association itself cannot meet the obligations or can they only recover from Jantje?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n If it concerns an order of t-shirts for the association, the supplier can also recover from Pietje because directors are also personally liable for the debts of the association.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55019454923101,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-5598-wanneer-wordt-een-vriendenclub-aangemerkt-als-een-informele-vereniging-mijn-man-is-nu-bezig-met","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
