Opposition MDC-T will force all members to sign binding contracts blocking them from using party symbols and name after defecting.
The party says the move is meant to stem confusion during splits which have become common in the party.
According to MDC-T organising secretary Abednico Bhebhe, the contracts - set to come into effect in July - would bar MDC-T members from taking the party to court over any differences.
Bhebhe said the MDC-T could not be used as a platform for the launch of splinter political parties using its name and symbols, saying the clause barring members from doing so was necessary.
"The second clause says that no party member is supposed to take the organisation to court over whatever circumstances or differences," he said.
