ABSTRACT

This chapter considers the detail of each of the heads of charity. The structure of that analysis will be to examine each of those heads and then to consider those factors which will deprive an institution of charitable status, even if it is prima facie charitable. The chapter considers two issues: first, the new regulatory structure for the administration of charities by The Charity Commission and, secondly, the cy-pre. Research into medical procedures would ordinarily have fallen under educational purposes under the research category in any event, in the manner considered earlier in the chapter in relation to the advancement of education. In the early law of charities, the admission of trust purposes to charitable status and the general, legal treatment of charities were the responsibility of individual parishes and therefore fell under the ecclesiastical courts' jurisdiction. These regulatory objectives do not create legal rights in the hands of the people who are mentioned in the text of the objectives.
