Proceedings for an offence under this Act alleged to have been committed by a partnership are to be brought in the name of the partnership (and not in that of any of the partners).

Proceedings for an offence under this Act alleged to have been committed by an unincorporated association other than a partnership are to be brought in the name of the association (and not in that of any of its members).

Rules of court relating to the service of documents have effect as if the partnership or unincorporated association were a body corporate.

Section 33 of the Criminal Justice Act 1925 (c.86) and Schedule 3 to the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980 (c.43) apply in proceedings for an offence brought against a partnership or an unincorporated association as they apply in relation to a body corporate.
