They are a quasi corporation for certain purpose, Withnell v.

Where there is no custom the election must be according to Canon 89 and s. 13 above, under which they must be chosen by the joint consent of the minister and the meeting, and if they cannot agree, then t...
Dissenters Chapels Act
Dissenters Chapels Act (7 & 8 Vict. c. 45), (statutory title, 'The (English) Nonconformist Chapels Act, 1844'), an Act passed in 1844 for the relief of Unitarians, though it applies to Nonconformists of every description. Its effect is to exclude, by a special law of limitation made for that express purpose, all inquiry into the conformity or otherwise of the doctrines taught or ritual practised in any chapel or meeting-house of any Non-conformist body, or the intentions of the founders by whom the building or its accessories or endowments were given, when such doctrines have been taught there, or such ritual practised, for the last twenty-five years; unless they are, in express terms, prohibited or excluded by some written instrument governing the foundation. The Act was passed inconsequence of the decision in what is commonly known as 'Lady Hewley's Case', Shore v. Wilson, (1842) 9 Cl&F 355, in which it was held by the House of Lords that Unitarian congregations, inspite of long and ...
Proctor
Proctor [fr. procurator, Lat.], a manager of another person's affairs; also a university official of Oxford or Cambridge having disciplinary powers over members of the university.Proctors in the Ecclesiastical and Admiralty Courts formerly discharged duties similar to those of solicitors and attorneys in other courts, as and being a separate body of practitioners. The title still survives, but the separation no longer exists. Owing to the abolition of the jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical Courts in causes matrimonial and testamentary, the (English) Court of Probate Act, 1857 (2 & 21 Vict. c. 77), ss. 43, 105, 106, and c. 85, s. 69, awarded compensation to the proctors, and admitted them to practise, not only in the Probate and Divorce Courts, but also in the Courts of Equity and Common Law. The Solicitors Act, 1877, s. 17, allows solicitors to practise as proctors; the Jud. Act, 1925, s. 256 (1), replacing Jud. Act, 1873 (s. 87), gives them the title of 'Solicitors of the Supreme Cour...

Rules of Court, orders regulating the practice of the Courts; or orders made between parties to an action or suit.(1) General rules regulating the practice of the Courts, both of Common Law and Equity, have from time to time been made by the Courts in pursuance of the powers of various Acts of Parliament. See as to the Common Law Courts, which promulgated consecutive Rules without any division into Orders, Day's Common Law Procedure Acts; and as to the Court of Chancery, which promulgated Orders subdivided into Rules, Morgan's Chancery Acts and Orders. The scheme of the Chancery Procedure Acts was that the Orders made thereunder should come into force as soon as made, subject to the power of Parliament to annul them afterwards (see, e.g., Chancery Procedure Act, 1858, s. 12), while that of the Common Law Procedure Acts, was that Rules made thereunder should not come into force until they had lain before Parliament for three months (see 13 & 14 Vict. c. 16, and Common Law Procedure Act,...
