Sec. 31-114. Responsibility for unlawful acts.

No officer or member of any association or organization, and no association or organization participating or interested in a labor dispute, shall be held responsible or liable in any court for the unlawful acts of individual officers, members or agents, except upon proof of actual participation in, or actual authorization of, such acts, or ratification of such acts after actual knowledge thereof.

(1949 Rev., S. 7410.)

Notation

Mere fact that persons committing the unlawful acts are acting within the scope of their general authority is not enough; it must appear that authority to do the particular acts charged, or acts generally of that type or quality, was expressly granted or necessarily followed from a granted authority. 150 C. 266.
