(b)consists wholly or mainly of—
(i)constituent or affiliated organisations which fulfil the conditions specified in sub-paragraph (a) (or themselves consist wholly or mainly of constituent or affiliated organisations which fulfil those conditions); or
(ii)representatives of such constituent or affiliated organisations;
and in either case is an organisation whose principal purposes include the regulation of relations between workers and employers or between workers and employers' associations, or include the regulation of relations between its constituent or affiliated organisations.
(2) A trade union shall not be, or be treated as if it were, a body corporate, but—
(a)it shall be capable of making contracts;
(b)all property belonging to the trade union shall be vested in trustees in trust for the union;
(c)it shall be capable of suing and being sued in its own name, whether in proceedings relating to property or founded on contract or tort or any other cause of action whatsoever;
(d)proceedings for any offence alleged to have been committed by it or on its behalf may be brought against it in its own name; and
(e)any judgment, order or award made in proceedings of any description brought against the trade union shall be enforceable by way of enforcement order under the Judgments Enforcement (Northern Ireland) Order 1981F1, punishment for contempt or otherwise, against any property held in trust for the trade union to the like extent and in the like manner as if the union were a body corporate.
(3) A trade union shall not be registered as a company under [F2the Companies Act 2006] and accordingly any registration of a trade union under [F3that Act] (whenever effected) shall be void.
(4) A trade union shall not be registered under [F4the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act (Northern Ireland) 1969] F5 or the Friendly Societies Act (Northern Ireland) 1970F6 and accordingly any registration of a trade union under either of those Acts (whenever effected) shall be void.
(5) The purposes of any trade union shall not, by reason only that they are in restraint of trade, be unlawful so as—
(a)to make any member of the trade union liable to criminal proceedings for conspiracy or otherwise; or
(b)to make any agreement or trust void or voidable;
nor shall any rule of a trade union be unlawful or unenforceable by reason only that it is in restraint of trade.
