Civil Code
Civ. Code § 47 (amended). Privileged publication or broadcast
Comment. Subdivision (b) of Section 47 is amended to reflect nonsubstantive reorganization of the rules governing civil discovery.
Civ. Code § 1354 (amended). Enforcement of governing documents
Comment. Subdivision (b) of Section 1354 is added to state the authority of an association or homeowner to enforce governing documents other than the declaration. See Section 1351(j) (“governing documents” defined). It is consistent with existing law. See former Code Civ. Proc. § 383(a)(1) (association enforcement of governing documents), renumbered as Section 1368.3. See also Kaplan v. Fairway Oaks Homeowners Ass’n, 98 Cal. App. 4th 715, 120 Cal. Rptr. 2d 158 (2002) (owner enforcement of association bylaws). A homeowner may bring an action against an association for failure to enforce the governing documents. See, e.g., Posey v. Leavitt, 229 Cal. App. 3d 1236, 1246, 280 Cal. Rptr. 568 (1991) (“Under well-accepted principles of condominium law, a homeowner can sue the association for damages and an injunction to compel the association to enforce the provisions of the declaration.”). Governing documents are enforceable under this section only if consistent with the declaration, reasonable, and if adopted with proper authority and procedures, including any required notice. See, e.g., MaJor v. Miraverde Homeowners Ass’n, 7 Cal. App. 4th 626, 9 Cal. Rptr. 2d 237 (1992) (inconsistent and unenforceable); Liebler v. Point Loma Tennis Club, 40 Cal. App. 4th 1609, 47 Cal. Rptr. 2d 783 (1995) (consistent and enforceable). For a general discussion of relevant principles, see Nahrstedt v. Lakeside Village Condominium Ass’n, 8 Cal. 4th 361, 377, 878 P. 2d 1275, 33 Cal. Rptr. 2d 63 (1994). See also Section 1357.110 (enforceability of operating rule).
The first sentence of former subdivision (f) is continued without substantive change in subdivision (c). See also Kaplan, 98 Cal. App. 4th at 719 (“The Legislature obviously intended to broaden the availability of attorney fee awards by authorizing attorney fees in an action to enforce the governing documents rather than just the declaration.”). The second sentence of former subdivision (f), relating to the amount of a fee award, is continued in Section 1369.580. That provision has been broadened to apply to an award of fees in an action to enforce this title or the Nonprofit Mutual Benefit Corporation Law. See Section 1369.510(b) (“enforcement action” defined).
Former subdivisions (b)-(e) and (g)-(j) relating to alternative dispute resolution, are relocated and revised as Sections 1369.510-1369.570, and 1369.590 (alternative dispute resolution). See the Comments to those sections for details of the disposition and revision of former subdivisions (b)-(e) and (g)-(j).
Civ. Code § 1357.120 (amended). Scope of operating rule requirements
Comment. Section 1357.120 is amended to provide that the procedures for revising an association’s operating rules apply to a rule that relates to the association’s procedure for reviewing a proposed physical change to property. See Section 1378 (procedure for decision on proposed physical change to property). See also Sections 1351(b) (“common area” defined), 1351(i) (“exclusive use common area” defined), 1351(l) (“separate interest” defined).
Civ. Code § 1363.810 (added). Scope of article
Comment. Article 5 (commencing with Section 1363.810) is intended to provide a simple and efficient intra-association dispute resolution procedure at no cost to the parties. This is distinct from the alternative dispute resolution process involving a neutral that is required by Article 2 (commencing with Section 1369.510) of Chapter 7 as a prerequisite to litigation to resolve the dispute.
The Nonprofit Mutual Benefit Corporation Law is found at Part 3 (commencing with Section 7110) of Division 2 of Title 1 of the Corporations Code.
See Section 1351(j) (“governing documents” defined).
Civ. Code § 1363.820 (added). Fair, reasonable, and expeditious dispute resolution procedure required
Comment. Subdivision (a) of Section 1363.820 establishes the requirement, and prescribes the standard, for an association’s internal dispute resolution procedure. For a description of disputes covered by the requirement, see Section 1363.810 (scope of article).
Although an association is required to provide a fair, reasonable, and expeditious dispute resolution procedure, its failure to do so is not subject to judicial mandate by writ or injunction and is not otherwise actionable. Pursuant to subdivision (c), inaction by an association is in effect adoption of the default procedure provided in Section 1363.840 (default meet and confer procedure).
The standard of “fair, reasonable, and expeditious” prescribed in Section 1363.820 is not an objective standard, and will vary from association to association, depending on such factors as size, involvement of membership, etc. A larger association might, for example, make use of a “covenants committee” composed of disinterested association members to hear and resolve disputes with binding effect on the board, whereas in a smaller association such a procedure might well be impossible because every member of the association could have an interest in the dispute.
Subdivision (b) implements the policy of this article to avoid squabbles over procedural details and instead focus on the substance of the dispute to be resolved. An association that has an existing internal dispute resolution procedure need not re-adopt it for the purposes of this article; the existing procedure is presumed to satisfy the requirements of this article.
The minimum requirements for an association’s internal dispute resolution procedure are prescribed in Section 1363.830. The default meet and confer procedure applicable if an association fails to adopt a fair, reasonable, and expeditious procedure is prescribed in Section 1363.840.
Civ. Code § 1363.830 (added). Minimum requirements of association procedure
Comment. Section 1363.830 prescribes the standards for an association’s fair, reasonable, and expeditious internal dispute resolution procedure. If an association fails to provide a fair, reasonable, and expeditious procedure, the default dispute resolution procedure provided in Section 1363.840 is applicable.
Civ. Code § 1363.840 (added). Default meet and confer procedure
Comment. Section 1363.840 provides a default dispute resolution procedure based on a “meet and confer” model. See, e.g., Gov’t Code § 3505 (“Meet and confer in good faith” means that the parties have the mutual obligation personally to meet and confer promptly upon request by either party and continue for a reasonable period of time in order to exchange freely information, opinions, and proposals, and to endeavor to reach agreement ….”)
An agreement reached pursuant to the meet and confer procedure prescribed in subdivision (b) binds the parties, provided it is not inconsistent with law or the governing documents and does not exceed the authority granted to the board’s representative. Thus, for example, a dispute could not legally be resolved by an agreement to a change in operating rules; operating rules may only be changed by appropriate association action. But an agreement could involve a commitment to bring the proposed rule change before the board with a favorable recommendation for board action.
Civ. Code § 1368.3 (added). Association standing
Comment. Section 1368.3 continues subdivision (a) of former Code of Civil Procedure Section 383 without substantive change.
Civ. Code § 1368.4 (added). Comparative fault as affirmative defense
Comment. Section 1368.4 continues subdivisions (b)-(e) of former Code of Civil Procedure Section 383 without substantive change.
Civ. Code § 1368.4 (amended and renumbered). Notice of civil action
Comment. Former Section 1368.4 is renumbered as 1368.5. Subdivision (a) is amended to correct a technical error.
Civ. Code § 1369.510 (added). Definitions
Comment. The first sentence of subdivision (a) of Section 1369.510 continues the substance of a portion of the first sentence of former Section 1354(b), and broadens it to include conciliation and other nonjudicial processes that involve a neutral in dispute resolution. The second sentence of subdivision (a) continues the substance of the second sentence of former Section 1354(b).
Subdivision (b) supersedes the portion of the first sentence of former Section 1354(b) that limited the alternative dispute resolution process to enforcement of governing documents. Under this section, an enforcement proceeding may involve enforcement of rights under this title or the Nonprofit Mutual Benefit Corporation Law. See also Section 1351(j) (“governing documents” defined). The Nonprofit Mutual Benefit Corporation Law is found at Part 3 (commencing with Section 7110) of Division 2 of Title 1 of the Corporations Code.
Subdivision (b) continues the exemption of cross-complaints formerly found in Section 1354(e).
Civ. Code § 1369.520 (added). ADR prerequisite to enforcement action
Comment. Subdivision (a) of Section 1369.520 continues the substance of a portion of the first sentence of former Section 1354(b). See also Section 1369.510 (“alternative dispute resolution” and “enforcement action” defined). Subdivision (a) does not continue the clause excepting a dispute where the applicable time limitation for commencing the action would run within 120 days. Instead, action under this subdivision tolls a statute of limitations that would run within 120 days. See Section 1369.550.
Subdivision (b) expands the provision of the first sentence of former Section 1354(b) specifying the types of enforcement actions to which the section applies. As revised, the provision covers an action for writ relief, as well as an action for declaratory or injunctive relief. It makes clear that a dispute resolution effort is not a prerequisite to a small claims action. Because the alternative dispute resolution requirement is limited to an action for declaratory, injunctive, or writ relief (or those types of relief joined with a damage claim not exceeding the jurisdictional limit of the small claims division of superior court), the requirement necessarily is inapplicable to a small claims proceeding. Cf. Code Civ. Proc. § 116.220 (limited jurisdiction of small claims court). A small claims action itself satisfies key functions of alternative dispute resolution — it provides a quick and inexpensive means of resolving a dispute within the jurisdiction of the small claims division of the superior court. Subdivision (b) is also revised to make clear that alternative dispute resolution is not applicable to an assessment dispute, except to the extent that it is made applicable by another provision of law.
Civ. Code § 1369.530. (added) Request for resolution
Comment. Paragraphs (1)-(3) of Section 1369.530(a) continue the substance of the third and fourth sentences of former Section 1354(b). Paragraph (4) continues the substance of former Section 1354(j). As used in subdivision (a), “all other parties to the dispute” refers to all persons intended to be named as parties to the enforcement action.
Subdivision (b) supersedes the fifth sentence of former Section 1354(b). It expands the permissible manner of service of the Request for Resolution, consistent with general provisions for notice of motion in civil proceedings.
Subdivision (c) continues the substance of the sixth sentence of former Section 1354(b).
Civ. Code § 1369.540 (added). ADR process
Comment. Subdivision (a) of Section 1369.540 continues the substance of the seventh sentence of former Section 1354(b).
Subdivision (b) supersedes former Section 1354(g)-(h). It replaces the former provisions with a reference to the general mediation confidentiality statute, but precludes application of that statute to arbitration proceedings pursuant to this article. See also Section 1269.510(a) (“alternative dispute resolution” defined).
Subdivision (c) continues the eighth sentence of former Section 1354(b).
The parties to an agreement reached pursuant to alternative dispute resolution may include in the agreement provisions for its enforcement in case of breach, such as a stipulation for entry of judgment or for injunctive relief.
Civ. Code § 1369.550 (added). Tolling of statute of limitations
Comment. Section 1369.550 supersedes the first clause of former Section 1354(b), which excepted a dispute where the applicable time limitation for commencing the action would run within 120 days. Under Section 1369.550, a Request for Resolution is required even if the statute of limitations would expire within 120 days of the request. Instead, if the statute of limitations would run within 120 days after service of the request, the statute is tolled until the 120th day after service of the request.
Civ. Code § 1369.560 (added). Certification of efforts to resolve dispute
Comment. Subdivision (a) of Section 1369.560 continues the substance of the first sentence of former Section 1354(c), but expands its application beyond an action for enforcement of the association’s governing documents. See Sections 1369.510(b) (“enforcement action” defined), 1369.520 (ADR prerequisite to enforcement action).
Subdivision (b) continues the substance of the second sentence of former Section 1354(c), but no longer excuses compliance if the statute of limitations would run within 120 days after filing. Cf. Section 1369.550 & Comment (tolling of statute of limitations). See also Code Civ. Proc. §§ 430.10 (demurrer), 435 (motion to strike).
The requirement of this section does not apply to the filing of a cross-complaint. See Section 1369.510(b) (“enforcement action” defined).
Civ. Code § 1369.570 (added). Stay of litigation for dispute resolution
Comment. Section 1369.570 continues the substance of former Section 1354(d) but expands its application beyond an action for enforcement of the association’s governing documents. See Section 1369.510(b) (“enforcement action” defined).
Civ. Code § 1369.580 (added). Attorney’s fees
Comment. Section 1369.580 continues the substance of the second sentence of former Section 1354(f) but expands its application beyond an action for enforcement of the association’s governing documents. See Section 1369.510(b) (“enforcement action” defined).
Civ. Code § 1369.590 (added). Member information
Comment. Subdivision (a) of Section 1369.590 continues the substance of the first and second paragraphs of former Section 1354(i). Subdivision (a) makes clear that it is the duty of the association to provide the summary.
Subdivision (b) continues the third paragraph of former Section 1354(i).
Civ. Code § 1373 (amended). Nonresidential developments
Comment. The introductory clause of subdivision (a) of Section 1373 is amended to more closely parallel the language used in Business and Professions Code Section 11010.3 (exemption of nonresidential subdivision from laws governing subdivided land). This is a nonsubstantive change.
Subdivision (a)(9) is added to exempt a nonresidential common interest development from the statutory provision governing review of a proposed physical change to property within the development. Nothing in this section affects the application of a common law requirement governing association review of a proposed property change. An industrial or commercial common interest development that is subject to such a requirement remains subject to the requirement.
Civ. Code § 1378 (added). Procedure for decision on proposed physical change to property
Comment. Section 1378 is new. Paragraphs (1) and (2) of subdivision (a) are consistent with case law. See Ironwood Owners Ass’n IX v. Solomon, 178 Cal. App. 3d 766, 772, 224 Cal. Rptr. 18 (1986) (“When a homeowners’ association seeks to enforce the provisions of its CCRs to compel an act by one of its member owners, it is incumbent upon it to show that it has followed its own standards and procedures prior to pursuing such a remedy, that those procedures were fair and reasonable and that its substantive decision was made in good faith, and is reasonable, not arbitrary or capricious.”). Nothing in this section is intended to shift the existing burden of proof as to the validity of an association’s governing documents.
Subdivision (a)(1) requires that an association establish prompt deadlines for response to an application or a request for reconsideration and include those deadlines in its written procedure. The meaning of “prompt” will vary from association to association, depending on such factors as the frequency with which the decisionmaking body meets and the complexity of the review process. However, the period for response should not exceed the amount of time that is reasonably required to respond. An association could choose to establish different periods for review of different identified classes of improvement. For example, an association’s procedure might provide 30 days for review of a landscaping plan, but 90 days for review of new construction. 
The association’s procedure for reviewing and approving or disapproving a proposed physical change should be flexible in addressing exigent circumstances. For example, an association should expedite review of a proposed change that is necessary to accommodate a disability or to protect against an imminent threat to public health or safety. Such flexibility is implicit in the requirement that the review and decisionmaking procedure be reasonable and expeditious.
Physical changes that might be subject to association approval requirements include additions or renovations, landscaping, choice of exterior paint colors, coverings, or roofing materials, changes to windows and balconies, and other such changes to the structure or appearance of the property.
An association decision on a proposed physical change must be consistent with governing law. For example, the Fair Employment and Housing Act prohibits discrimination “through public or private land use practices, decisions, and authorizations.” Gov’t Code § 12955(l). See also Gov’t Code § 12927(c)(1) (“Discrimination” includes “refusal to permit, at the expense of the disabled person, reasonable modifications of existing premises occupied or to be occupied by the disabled person, if the modifications may be necessary to afford the disabled person full enjoyment of the premises ... and includes refusal to make reasonable accommodations in rules, policies, practices, or services when these accommodations may be necessary to afford a disabled person equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling.”).
Subdivision (a)(4) provides an applicant with the option to seek reconsideration of a disapproval decision, at an open meeting of the board of directors. If a separate interest is part of more than one association, a disapproval decision would be reconsidered by the board of the association that made the disapproval decision. Nothing in this subdivision is intended to imply that a board meeting required under another provision is not open. See Section 1363.05 (Common Interest Development Open Meeting Act). An applicant preserves other remedies whether or not the applicant seeks reconsideration. The right of reconsideration by the board only applies if the initial decision is made by an entity with a different membership than the board of directors or is made at a meeting that does not satisfy the requirements of Section 1363.05.
The requirements of this section apply regardless of any contrary provision in an association’s governing documents. Nothing in this section affects the limitation on director liability provided in Section 1367.5 or in Corporations Code Section 7231.
Subdivision (b) makes clear that this section does not authorize physical change to the common area in a manner that is inconsistent with an association’s governing documents or the governing law. In many associations the governing documents require a vote of the membership to approve a change to the common area. See, e.g., Posey v. Leavitt, 229 Cal. App. 3d 1236, 280 Cal. Rptr. 568 (1991). In other associations, the governing documents may permit changes to certain features of the common areas (such as common walls, ceilings, floors, and exclusive use common areas) with the approval of the association. See Civ. Code § 1351(i) (“exclusive use common area” defined). In all cases, the requirements of the governing documents control.
Nothing in this section prevents an association from adopting an operating rule, consistent with its governing documents, that provides for automatic approval of a specifically identified type of physical change.

Comment. Sections 1812.40-1812.41 are repealed as obsolete. The final report of the Retail Credit Advisory Committee was to be completed by June 30, 1982.

Code Civ. Proc. § 259 (amended). Court commissioners
Comment. Former subdivisions (d), (i), (j), and (k) of Section 259 are repealed as obsolete. The repeal of these provisions does not preclude a court commissioner from administering an oath or affirmation, or from taking proof or acknowledgment of an instrument. See Code Civ. Proc. § 2093(a) (“every officer or person authorized to take testimony in any action or proceeding, or to decide upon evidence, has the power to administer oaths and affirmations”); Civ. Code § 1181 (officers authorized to take proof or acknowledgment of instrument include court commissioner).
Former subdivision (e) is amended to replace the provision for appointment of a commissioner as temporary judge on written consent of an appearing party with the constitutional standard for appointment of a temporary judge. See Cal. Const. art. VI, § 21. Under the Constitution, written consent is not required in case of “implied consent” or “tantamount stipulation.” See, e.g., In re Courtney H., 38 Cal. App. 4th 1221, 1227-28, 45 Cal. Rptr. 2d 560, 564 (1995). Under the Constitution, whether the stipulation of a party is required for designation of a temporary judge is determined by the party’s status as a “litigant,” not by whether the party is “an appearing party.” See, e.g., Sarracino v. Superior Court, 13 Cal. 3d 1, 529 P.2d 53, 118 Cal. Rptr. 21 (1974); Barfield v. Superior Court, 216 Cal. App. 2d 476, 477, 31 Cal. Rptr. 30 (1963).

Section 395.2 is amended to reflect that an unincorporated association may file a statement designating its principal office under sections other than former Corporations Code Section 24003 (continued without substantive change in Corporations Code Section 18200). See, e.g., Corp. Code §§ 15621(a)(4) (limited partnership), 16309 (general partnership), 16953(a)(3) (limited liability partnership), 17051(a)(4) (limited liability company), 17060(a)(2) (limited liability company).

Comment. Section 416.40 is amended to reflect that an unincorporated association may designate an agent for service of process under sections other than former Corporations Code Section 24003 (continued without substantive change in Corporations Code Section 18200).

Code §§ 15621(a)(4) (limited partnership), 16309 (general partnership), 16953(a)(3) (limited liability partnership), 17051(a)(4) (limited liability company), 17060(a)(2) (limited liability company).

Comment. Section 16309 is new. Similar provisions govern designation of an agent for service of process by other types of unincorporated business entities. See Sections 15627(d) (limited partnership), 16962(a) (limited liability partnership), 17061(d) (limited liability company).
Corp. Code § 16310 (added). Service of process on designated agent
Comment. Section 16310 is new. Similar provisions govern service of process on other types of unincorporated business entities. See Sections 15627(a)-(b) (limited partnership), 16962(b)-(f) (limited liability partnership), 17061(a)-(c) (limited liability company).
Corp. Code § 18000 (added). Application of definitions
Comment. Section 18000 is new.
Corp. Code § 18005 (added). Director
Comment. Section 18005 is new. See also Sections 8 (“writing” defined), 18015 (“member” defined), 18035 (“unincorporated association” defined).
Corp. Code § 18010 (added). Governing principles
Comment. Section 18010 is new. See also Sections 8 (“writing” defined), 18015 (“member” defined), 18035 (“unincorporated association” defined).
Corp. Code § 18015 (added). Member
Comment. Section 18015 is new. Subdivision (a) recognizes the authority of an unincorporated association to determine its own membership requirements. Nothing in this subdivision is intended to authorize unlawful discrimination by an unincorporated association in its membership policy.
Subdivision (b) is drawn from Section 1(1) of the Uniform Unincorporated Nonprofit Association Act (1996). However, subdivision (b) adds an exception for a person who participates in association decisionmaking solely as a director, officer, or agent of the association. This does not preclude a director, officer, or agent from being a member, if that person qualifies as a member for another reason. For example, if an association’s employee assists in developing association policy, that participation does not make the employee a member of the association. However, the fact that the employee serves as an agent of the association does not preclude the employee from being a member under subdivision (a).
See also Sections 18005 (“director” defined), 18010 (“governing principles” defined), 18025 (“officer” defined), 18030 (“person” defined), 18035 (“unincorporated association” defined).
Corp. Code § 18020 (added). Nonprofit association
Comment. Subdivision (a) of Section 18020 defines “nonprofit association” for the purpose of this title. See Section 18035 (“unincorporated association” defined). Cf. Sections 16101(7) (“partnership” defined), 16202 (formation of partnership). Unincorporated associations organized primarily to carry on a business for profit include a business trust, real estate investment trust, and joint stock association. 
Subdivision (b) recognizes that a nonprofit entity may carry on some for-profit business activity. See, e.g., Sections 5140(l) (powers of nonprofit public benefit corporation), 7140(l) (powers of nonprofit mutual benefit corporation).
Corp. Code § 18025 (added). Officer
Comment. Section 18025 is new. See also Sections 18010 (“governing principles” defined), 18035 (“unincorporated association” defined).
Corp. Code § 18030 (added). Person
Comment. Section 18030 continues and generalizes former Section 24000(b). See also Section 18 (“person” defined for purposes of code).
Corp. Code § 18035 (added). Unincorporated association
Comment. Subdivision (a) of Section 18035 is drawn from former Section 24000. Subdivision (b) is drawn from Section 16202(c)(1). Subdivision (c) makes clear that marriage or creation of a registered domestic partnership does not by itself create an unincorporated association. This does not prevent spouses or domestic partners from forming an unincorporated association for any purpose beyond the purposes inherent in marriage or registered domestic partnership. See also Sections 18030 (“person” defined), 18055 (exempt persons), 18060 (relation to other law).
Corp. Code § 18055 (added). Exempt persons
Comment. Section 18055 lists entities that are not subject to this title because they are governed by other law. Subdivision (b) is drawn from former Section 24000. Section 18200(g) provides an exception to the general rule provided in this section.
Corp. Code § 18060 (added). Relation to other law
Comment. Section 18060 is new. It makes clear that the general provisions of this title are subordinate to entity-specific statutes. For example, Section 18105 authorizes an unincorporated association to own property. Insurance Code Section 9089 provides a more restrictive property ownership rule specific to a fraternal fire insurer. An unincorporated fraternal fire insurer would be subject to both sections. To the extent they are inconsistent, Insurance Code Section 9089 would prevail. See also Section 18035 (“unincorporated association” defined).
Corp. Code § 18065 (added). Relation to law of agency
Comment. Section 18065 is new. See also Sections 18035 (“unincorporated association” defined), 18615 (contract liability of agent of nonprofit association), 18620 (tort liability).
Corp. Code § 18070 (added). Continuation and restatement of prior law
Comment. The first part of Section 18070 is drawn from Section 2. The last clause makes clear that a statutory reference to a new provision of this title includes a reference to the former law from which it is drawn. Cf. Gov’t Code § 9604 (reference to previously existing provision deemed reference to restatement or continuation).
Corp. Code § 18100 (added). Membership interest is personal property
Comment. Section 18100 continues former Section 20000 without substantive change. A member has no property interest in association assets that are dedicated to a public or charitable purpose. See also Sections 18015 (“member” defined), 18035 (“unincorporated association” defined).
Corp. Code § 18105 (added). Property powers
Comment. Section 18105 continues the substance of former Section 20001, except that the limitation on the permissible purpose for which property is acquired, held, managed, encumbered, or transferred is not continued. Under this section, an unincorporated association has all of the powers granted under former Section 20001, including the power to purchase, receive, own, hold, lease, mortgage, pledge, or encumber, by deed of trust or otherwise, manage, and sell property. See also Section 18035 (“unincorporated association” defined).
Corp. Code § 18110 (added). Association property
Comment. Section 18110 is new. See also Sections 18015 (“member” defined), 18035 (“unincorporated association” defined).
Corp. Code § 18115 (added). Execution of real property acquisition, transfer, or encumbrance
Comment. Section 18115 continues the first paragraph of former Section 20002 without substantive change, except that the special, more restrictive, rule for fraternal or benevolent societies and labor organizations has not been continued. These organizations are now subject to the same rule as any other form of unincorporated association. See also Sections 18025 (“officer” defined), 18030 (“person” defined), 18035 (“unincorporated association” defined).
Corp. Code § 18120 (added). Statement of authority
Comment. Section 18120 continues the substance of the second paragraph of former Section 20002. Subdivision (b) is new.
Former Section 20002 incorporated definitions set out in former Section 15010.5. The obsolete definitions have not been continued. See also Sections 18005 (“director” defined), 18015 (“member” defined), 18025 (“officer” defined), 18030 (“person” defined), 18035 (“unincorporated association” defined).
Corp. Code § 18125 (added). Limit on assertion of unauthorized action
Comment. Section 18125 is drawn from Section 208(a). It protects third parties from claims that an action of an unincorporated association is unauthorized or improperly executed. See also Sections 18005 (“director” defined), 18015 (“member” defined), 18025 (“officer” defined), 18035 (“unincorporated association” defined).
Corp. Code § 18130 (added). Disposition of assets of dissolved association
Comment. Section 18130 is new. It provides rules for distribution of assets of a dissolving unincorporated association that remain after the association has satisfied its known debts and liabilities. 
Subdivision (a) is drawn from Section 8715.
Subdivision (b) governs distribution of assets that are held in trust and are not subject to a valid condition requiring return, transfer, or conveyance. See Lynch v. Spilman, 67 Cal. 2d 251, 260, 431 P.2d 636, 62 Cal. Rptr. 12 (1967) (“property transferred to a corporation or other institution organized for a charitable purpose without a declaration of the use to which the property is to be put, is received and held by it ‘in trust to carry out the objects for which the organization was created.’”) (citations omitted).
Subdivision (c) governs assets that are not subject to a valid condition requiring return, transfer, or conveyance, and are not subject to a trust. It is consistent with the holding in Holt v. Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Benefit Ass’n, 250 Cal. App. 2d 925, 932, 59 Cal. Rptr. 180 (1967) (“It is the general rule that upon the dissolution of a voluntary association its property should be distributed pro-rata among its members unless otherwise provided by its constitution or by-laws.”) (citations omitted).
Section 18060 provides that a statute specific to a particular type of unincorporated association prevails over a provision of this title, to the extent of any inconsistency. For example, a statutory rule governing disposition of the property of a dissolved cemetery association would prevail over provisions of this section, to the extent of any inconsistency. See, e.g., Health & Safety Code §§ 7925 (limitation on proceeds of sale of cemetery land), 8825-8829 (dedication of pioneer memorial park).
See also Sections 18010 (“governing principles” defined), 18015 (“member” defined), 18035 (“unincorporated association” defined).
Corp. Code § 18135 (added). Recovery of distributed assets
Comment. Section 18135 is new. See also Sections 18015 (“member” defined), 18030 (“person” defined), 18035 (“unincorporated association” defined).
Corp. Code § 18200 (added). Statement of unincorporated association
Comment. Section 18200 continues former Section 24003 without substantive change. Subdivision (g) is added as a transitional provision to make clear that this chapter applies to a statement filed by a partnership under former Section 24003, despite language in Section 18055 providing that this title does not apply to a partnership. See Sections 16309-16310 (partnership’s designation of agent for service of process). See also Section 18035 (“unincorporated association” defined).
Corp. Code § 18205 (added). Numbering, filing, and indexing of statements
Comment. Section 18205 continues former Section 24004 without substantive change. See also Section 18030 (“person” defined), 18035 (“unincorporated association” defined).
Corp. Code § 18210 (added). Revocation or resignation of agency
Comment. Section 18210 continues former Section 24005 without substantive change. See also Section 18035 (“unincorporated association” defined).
Corp. Code § 18215 (added). Notice of expiration
Comment. Section 18215 continues former Section 24006 without substantive change. See also Section 18035 (“unincorporated association” defined).
Corp. Code § 18220 (added). Service of process on unincorporated associations in certain cases
Comment. Section 18220 continues former Section 24007 without substantive change. See also Sections 18015 (“member” defined), 18035 (“unincorporated association” defined).
Corp. Code § 18250 (added). Liability of unincorporated association
Comment. Section 18250 continues the substance of former Section 24001, with two exceptions: 
(1) Language providing that former Section 24001 did not affect the liability of an association to a member of the association has not been continued. It is now clear that an unincorporated association may be liable to a member of the association. See Marshall v. ILWU, 57 Cal. 2d 781, 371 P.2d 987, 22 Cal. Rptr. 211 (1962) (member can sue labor union for negligent acts that member neither participated in nor authorized); White v. Cox, 17 Cal. App. 3d 824, 828, 95 Cal. Rptr. 259 (1971) (“unincorporated associations are now entitled to general recognition as separate legal entities and … as a consequence a member of an unincorporated association may maintain a tort action against his association.”). 
(2) The phrase “except as otherwise provided by statute” has been broadened. Both statutory and common law limitations on the liability of an unincorporated association should govern. For example, in Lamden v. La Jolla Shores Clubdominium Homeowners Ass’n, 21 Cal. 4th 249, 253, 980 P.2d 940, 87 Cal. Rptr. 237 (1999), the court held that courts should defer to a decision of a duly-constituted community association board, where the board, “upon reasonable investigation, in good faith and with regard for the best interests of the community association and its members, exercises discretion within the scope of its authority under relevant statutes, covenants and restrictions to select among means for discharging an obligation to maintain and repair a development’s common areas….” Section 18250 does not override the rule stated in that case.
See also Sections 18005 (“director” defined), 18025 (“officer” defined), 18035 (“unincorporated association” defined).
Corp. Code § 18260 (added). Enforcement of money judgment against unincorporated association
Comment. Section 18260 continues former Section 24002 without substantive change. Nothing in the section precludes the plaintiff from also resorting to the individual property of a member of the association to satisfy a judgment against the member in a case where the member was also a party defendant. See also Sections 18035 (“unincorporated association” defined), 18270 (enforcement of judgment against member, officer, or agent of nonprofit association).
Corp. Code § 18270 (added). Enforcement of judgment against member, officer, or agent
Comment. Section 18270 is drawn from Section 16307(d). In general, a judgment against an unincorporated association can only be satisfied from the property of the association. See Section 18250. However, if there is also a judgment against a member, officer, or agent of the unincorporated association that is based on the same claim as the judgment against the unincorporated association, the judgment against the member, officer, or agent may be satisfied from that person’s assets pursuant to this section. See also Sections 18015 (“member” defined), 18025 (“officer” defined), 18035 (“unincorporated association” defined).
Corp. Code § 18605 (added). No liability based solely on membership or agency
Comment. Section 18605 codifies the general rule that a member of an unincorporated nonprofit association is not liable for the association’s debts, obligations, or liabilities solely by reason of membership. See Security-First National Bank of Los Angeles v. Cooper, 62 Cal. App. 2d 653, 667, 145 P.2d 722 (1944) (“Membership, as such, imposes no personal liability for the debts of the association”) (quoting 7 C.J.S. 78); Orser v. George, 252 Cal. App. 2d 660, 670-71, 60 Cal. Rptr. 708 (1967) (“mere membership does not make all members liable for unlawful acts of other members without their participation, knowledge or approval.”). 
The general rule is extended to directors, officers, and agents of an association. This is consistent with existing law providing that an agent is not liable for obligations of a disclosed principal or for torts of the principal, where the agent is personally innocent of wrongdoing. See 2 B. Witkin, Summary of California Law Agency § 145, at 141, § 151, at 145 (9th ed. 1987).
See also Sections 18005 (“director” defined), 18015 (“member” defined), 18020 (“nonprofit association” defined), 18025 (“officer” defined).
Corp. Code §18610 (added). Contract liability of member of nonprofit association
Comment. Section 18610 is new. It specifies the scope of personal liability of a member of a nonprofit association for a contractual obligation of the association. 
Subdivision (a) is consistent with former Section 21101 and with the Statute of Frauds. See Civ. Code § 1624(a)(2).
Subdivision (b) is consistent with the common law rule that a member of a nonprofit association is liable for a contractual obligation that the member has expressly authorized or ratified. See Security-First National Bank of Los Angeles v. Cooper, 62 Cal. App. 2d 653, 145 P.2d 722 (1944). Subdivision (b) does not continue the common law rule that a member is liable for a contract that the member has impliedly authorized or ratified. Authorization and ratification may not be inferred from mere participation in the governance of the association — express approval of the contract is required. For example, approval of bylaws, election of officers, or participation in a vote in which the member votes against authorization or ratification of a contract would not constitute express authorization or ratification of a contract.
Subdivisions (d) and (e) provide for liability where the member is acting as an agent of the nonprofit association. Compare Section 18615(b) & (c). See also 2 B. Witkin, Summary of California Law Agency §§ 144-48, at 141-44 (9th ed. 1987) (agent not liable for contract on behalf of disclosed principal); id. §§ 144-45, at 141-42 (agent liable for contract if agent lacked authority); Civ. Code §§ 2342 (warranty of authority), 2343(2) (bad faith representation of authority).
See also Sections 18005 (“director” defined), 18015 (“member” defined), 18020 (“nonprofit association” defined), 18025 (“officer” defined).
Corp. Code § 18615 (added). Contract liability of director, officer, or agent of nonprofit association
Comment. Section 18615 is new. It specifies the scope of liability of a director, officer, or agent of a nonprofit association for a contractual obligation of the association. 
Subdivision (a) is consistent with former Section 21101 and with the Statute of Frauds. See Civ. Code § 1624(a)(2).
Subdivision (b) is consistent with existing law providing that an agent is not liable for a contract entered into on behalf of a disclosed principal. See 2 B. Witkin, Summary of California Law Agency §§ 144-48, at 141-44 (9th ed. 1987). 
Subdivision (c) provides that a director, officer, or agent is liable for a contract executed on behalf of an association if the director, officer, or agent lacks authority to execute the contract. See Civ. Code §§ 2342 (warranty of authority), 2343(2) (bad faith representation of authority); B. Witkin, supra §§ 144-45, at 141-42.
See also Sections 18005 (“director” defined), 18020 (“nonprofit association” defined), 18025 (“officer” defined).
Corp. Code § 18630 (added). Application of alter ego doctrine to nonprofit association
Comment. Section 18630 is new. It provides that the common law alter ego doctrine applicable to corporations may also be applied to nonprofit associations. The alter ego doctrine is summarized in Communist Party of the United States v. 522 Valencia, Inc., 35 Cal. App. 4th 980, 993, 41 Cal. Rptr. 2d 618 (1995) (“In general, the two requirements for applying the alter ego doctrine are that (1) there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and the individual or organization controlling it that their separate personalities no longer exist, and (2) failure to disregard the corporate entity would sanction a fraud or promote injustice.”). 
In applying the alter ego doctrine to a nonprofit association, a court should take into account differences between a nonprofit corporation and a nonprofit association. For example, failure to observe corporate formalities may be a factor in a decision to impose alter ego liability on shareholders of a corporation. Although it would be unreasonable to expect a nonprofit association to observe the governance formalities required of a corporation, it might be reasonable to expect that a nonprofit association will follow the governance formalities it has established for itself. Failure to do so may indicate that the personality of a nonprofit association and its members are not truly separate.
Failure to provide a corporation with reasonably adequate assets to cover its prospective liabilities may justify imposing alter ego liability on shareholders of a corporation. In Automotriz del Golfo de California v. Resnick, 47 Cal. 2d 792, 306 P.2d 1 (1957), the court relied in part on inadequate capitalization to justify imposing alter ego liability:
If a corporation is organized and carries on business without substantial capital in such a way that the corporation is likely to have no sufficient assets available to meet its debts, it is inequitable that shareholders should set up such a flimsy organization to escape personal liability. The attempt to do corporate business without providing any sufficient basis of financial responsibility to creditors is an abuse of the separate entity and will be ineffectual to exempt the shareholders from corporate debts. It is coming to be recognized as the policy of the law that shareholders should in good faith put at the risk of the business unencumbered capital reasonably adequate for its prospective liabilities. If the capital is illusory or trifling compared with the business to be done and the risks of loss, this is a ground for denying the separate entity privilege.
Id. at 797 quoting Ballantine on Corporations (1946). This principle could also be applied to a nonprofit association. However, it would be necessary to carefully consider the nature of the association to determine what level of unencumbered capital would be reasonably adequate for the association’s prospective liabilities. For example, a small historical society, operating a museum that is open to the public, should probably insure against liability for any injuries suffered by the public while in the museum. Such insurance might reasonably be considered adequate capitalization. On the other hand, an association that publishes controversial and potentially defamatory commentaries about public figures might reasonably anticipate greater risk of liability. If the association fails to insure against that risk or maintain a cash reserve to satisfy any judgment against it, a court might conclude that the association is inadequately capitalized.
If, as an incident to its nonprofit purpose, a nonprofit association conducts for-profit business activity, the appropriate levels of capitalization and insurance for that activity would be analogous to the capitalization and insurance that a for-profit entity should carry when conducting similar business activity.
See also Sections 18015 (“member” defined), 18020 (“nonprofit association” defined).
Corp. Code § 18640 (added). Fraudulent transfers
Comment. Section 18640 is new. It makes clear that limits on liability provided in this chapter do not affect the application of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (Civ. Code §§ 3439-3439.12). Thus, if an insolvent association transfers assets to a member (e.g., through a general distribution or redemption of membership), those assets may be recoverable by a creditor, regardless of whether the member is liable for the debt.

Comment. Section 21200 is amended to correct a cross-reference to former Section 21000.

Rptr. 211 (1962) (member can sue labor union for negligent acts which member neither participated in nor authorized); White v. Cox, 17 Cal. App. 3d 824, 828, 95 Cal. Rptr. 259 (1971) (“unincorporated associations are now entitled to general recognition as separate legal entities and … as a consequence a member of an unincorporated association may maintain a tort action against his association.”).
