The Law of Charities has quickly established itself as one of the leading texts in its field. Highly practical in its outlook, it combines a comprehensive and authoritative account of the law with pragmatic advice on procedure. This timely new edition offers essential commentary on the Charities Act 2006 and the companion consolidation legislation, and will guide practitioners and academics alike through the important changes to the law, including the establishment of a Charity Tribunal, the creation of new charitable corporations (CIOs), and changes to the administration, registration, and accounting procedures of charities. The Law of Charities 2e is essential reading for anyone involved in the law of trusts or estate management and will guide readers through the first comprehensive changes to the UK's charities regime for 400 years. All of the changes introduced by the Charities Act will be addressed, including: the new statutory list of charitable purposes; the new form of charitable corporation, the Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), that merely requires registration with the Charity Commission; the setting up of a Charity Tribunal to hear appeals from the Charity Commission; the changes to the administration of charities, including registration and accounting requirements; the new unified regime for public charitable collections; changes to the constitution of the Charity Commission.
Review from previous edition As for the profession it would be surprising not to say disappointing if this most useful work did not find a place on their library shelves * Trust Law International *
The Law of Charities is an impressive text, illustrative of very hard work and commitment to scholarship. It provides, from a practical standpoint, an innovative and comprehensive statement of the current law complemented in many places by judicious academic commentary * Trust Law International *
Offers a valuable discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of establishing the charitable status ... The Law of Charities provides a comprehensive and interesting study, adequately case-quoted and foot-noted. This text will add value to both professional and academic libraries * International Trade and Business law Annual *
the real value is the thorough explanation of the principles behind charity law. Having read Luxton on a relevant topic, you will not only be able to explain a key issue to a charity, but you will be able to explain why the law works in that way. it is certainly the kind of book to know about and to be able to consult when major questions arise * Gareth Morgan, Independent Examiner Vol 4 No. 1, Spring 2002 *
a work of real quality and of enduring appeal. an impressive volume. As well as an attractive and uncluttered style the author has a mastery of the relevant detail and the important principle. comprehensive and comprehensible, scholarly and scholastic, principled and practical. It is, quite simply, an essential exposition of the law of charities for the twenty-first century * The Conveyancer, March/April 2002 *
Professor Luxton's new book presents an exciting prospect to those charity and other lawyers seeking a framework upon which to begin, develop or deepen an approach through the morass that is the present law relating to charities ... this work is more than an extensive guidebook. Professor Luxton's fresh analytical approach works ... a wide-ranging work that straddles the two markets of academic analysis and a reference source. The achievement is that diverse audiences will get what they want in this book ... a clear, concise and straightforward critique of the current law as it affects charities and (or) a thought-provoking analysis of the state of the law as identified through specific themes which can be drawn out at the reader's wish. All will find a book that demonstrates a genuine commitment to unravelling the law of charities and to taking the jurisprudence forward. In addition it is a thoroughly enjoyable read * Law Quarterly Review, 1 April 2002 *
Peter Luxton and his helpers are to be congratulated on the successful completion of a massive task * Solicitors Journal vol145 No25 *
