Member liability for unpaid subscriptions or wrongful detention allows society to sue members as strangers and recover damages. Members may be sued individually for subscription arrears, wrongful detention, or injury to society property and for resulting damages under the statutory procedure. If a defendant recovers costs against the society, the defendant may elect to recover those costs from the officer in whose name the suit was brought or from the society, and, in the latter case, may have process against the society's property as provided by the statute.
