Shivaji Shiva provides an overview of noteworthy charity legal cases and their implications for the sector.
The challenging economic climate has prompted many trustees to review their charity's financial position and thus poses the question: is it beneficial to establish the charity as a company in order to fall under the protection of limited liability?
Shivaji Shiva outlines a recent dispute that highlights the legal complications for charities dependent on specific beliefs.
Technical briefing
Understanding the Public Services (Social Value) Act
Tags: Law | Public service delivery
Shivaji Shiva summarises the key points of the Public Services (Social Value) Act.
A shocked new trustee is amazed at how subservient the other trustees are to a domineering chair who has just fired the chief executive.
While the Catholic Care case captured all the headlines, the Equality Act exemptions also have other implications, such as for use of buildings, as Shivaji Shiva and Sarah Hayes explain.
An alternative approach to the management of intellectual property
Shivaji Shiva looks at governance issues in faith organisations. The first case to be heard by the Charity Tribunal was initiated earlier this year by a former trustee of Sivayogam, a Hindu charity that runs temples in Tooting and Wembley.
