Actions Relating to Unincorporated Associations

This rule applies to an action brought by or against the mem- bers of an unincorporated association as a class by naming certain members as representative parties. The action may be maintained only if it appears that those parties will fairly and adequately pro- tect the interests of the association and its members. In conduct- ing the action, the court may issue any appropriate orders cor- responding with those in Rule 23(d), and the procedure for settle- ment, voluntary dismissal, or compromise must correspond with the procedure in Rule 23(e).
