This is a slippery slope, as it might end up in a discussion of
liability issues, but under German law we form a "Gesellschaft
bürgerlichen Rechts" by virtue of "konkludentes Handeln", and thus it is
possible for us to be the a party in a lawsuit.
It's probably a good idea to come up with something more formally
defined, though.
