Charities Act 2022: Changes to the disposal of land by charity trustees
Sophie Mazzier, Edward Burton and Jennifer Emms
Although the Act was passed in February 2022, a number of provisions are being implemented in stages. Click below to read our briefing, which outlines those which came into force on 14 June 2023 (subject to two sets of saving provisions which apply to decisions made by trustees in relation to permanent endowment yet to be determined by the Charity Commission).
A third stage to implement the remaining provisions is expected by the end of 2023 (rather than Autumn 2023). In addition to further changes to the rules relating to charity land, these provisions include changes to the rules on amending governing documents for charities, charity mergers and the Charity Commission’s powers to appoint charity trustees and authorise remuneration.
