§ 18060 Specific Statute Prevails

• •Special rules for specific groups beat general rules.
• •If there's a conflict, the specific rule is the one to follow.
• •This only applies to unincorporated associations (groups not officially registered as a business).

Imagine there's a general rule that all clubs must meet once a month, but there's a special rule for book clubs that says they only need to meet every two months.

In this case, the book club would follow the special rule and meet every two months, not the general rule of once a month.
