33A Groups and unincorporated associations

(1) A group or unincorporated association may be authorised to appear at a compulsory examination or public inquiry or authorised or required to give evidence at a compulsory examination or public inquiry.

(2) Accordingly, references in sections 32 and 33, and in other provisions of this Act, to a “person” extend for this purpose to a group or unincorporated association.

(3) However, this section does not affect the application in any other context of the principle that a reference to a word in the singular form includes a reference to the word in the plural form.
