Description
REID, J. This is an action in negligence for personal injuries against the Roman Catholic Diocese of Knoxville, an unincorporated association, brought by a member of the association. The trial court denied the defendant's motion for summary judgment, but granted a Rule 9 1 appeal on the issue of whether the plaintiff's cause of action is barred because she is a member of the diocese. The Court of Appeals reversed the trial court, ruling that a member of an unincorporated association has ""no standing"" to sue the association for negligence in the maintenance of a parking lot owned by the association. For the reasons hereinafter stated, the action of the Court of Appeals is reversed, and the suit is allowed to proceed.
