114F Proceedings may be commenced before nomination or
appointment
(1) A proceeding for a child abuse claim may be commenced or
continued against an unincorporated body in the name of the body
before—
(a) a nomination under section 114D (2) is made; or
(b) an appointment is made under section 114E (4).
(2) If a proceeding is commenced or continued under subsection (1)
against the unincorporated body, the court may make any
interlocutory orders it considers appropriate against the body as if it
were incorporated and capable of being sued.
(3) The nomination or appointment of an entity as a defendant for the
unincorporated body in a proceeding for a child abuse claim does not
relieve the body, or any member of the body, from any obligation
under an order under subsection (2).
