nlj_7752_backpage

“The Charites Acts Handbook...brings together commentary on charity legislation in one publication which is easy to read & accessible to practitioners”

Authors: Bates Wells Braithwaite
Publisher: Jordan Publishing 
ISBN: 9781846615771 
Price: £50

The Charities Acts Handbook delivers exactly what the reader expects. It is fully up to date, including commentary on the Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016 and provides a thorough synopsis of the law relating to charities.

The handbook is a complete practical guide to principal charity legislation. Helpfully, it includes useful background to the Charities Acts including the Charities Act 2011 as consolidating legislation, which brought together most of the provisions of the Charities Act 1993 and 2006 into a single Act of Parliament. It also provides interesting background to the evolution of charity law and in particular, the legal definition of what is charitable. An understanding of how charity law has evolved improves practitioners’ understanding of why the current law is as it is.

Public benefit
