Charities Act 1992

In section 8 of the 1872 Act (enforcement of orders and directions of Commissioners), for the words from “shall also” onwards substitute “ section 41 of the Charities Act 1960 (enforcement of orders of Commissioners) shall apply to any trustee who fails to perform or observe any such condition or direction as it applies to a person guilty of disobedience to any such order of the Commissioners as is mentioned in that section. ”

For section 12 of the 1872 Act substitute—

(12) (1) This section has effect as respects the execution of documents by an incorporated body. (2) If an incorporated body has a common seal, a document may be executed by the body by the affixing of its common seal. (3) Whether or not it has a common seal, a document may be executed by an incorporated body either— (a) by being signed by a majority of the trustees of the relevant charity and expressed (in whatever form of words) to be executed by the body; or (b) by being executed in pursuance of an authority given under subsection (4) below. (4) For the purposes of subsection (3)(b) above the trustees of the relevant charity in the case of an incorporated body may, subject to the trusts of the charity, confer on any two or more of their number— (a) a general authority, or (b) an authority limited in such manner as the trustees think fit, to execute in the name and on behalf of the body documents for giving effect to transactions to which the body is a party. (5) An authority under subsection (4) above— (a) shall suffice for any document if it is given in writing or by resolution of a meeting of the trustees of the relevant charity, notwithstanding the want of any formality that would be required in giving an authority apart from that subsection; (b) may be given so as to make the powers conferred exercisable by any of the trustees, or may be restricted to named persons or in any other way; (c) subject to any such restriction, and until it is revoked, shall, notwithstanding any change in the trustees of the relevant charity, have effect as a continuing authority given by the trustees from time to time of the charity and exercisable by such trustees. (6) In any authority under subsection (4) above to execute a document in the name and on behalf of an incorporated body there shall, unless the contrary intention appears, be implied authority also to execute it for the body in the name and on behalf of the official custodian for charities or of any other person, in any case in which the trustees could do so. (7) A document duly executed by an incorporated body which makes it clear on its face that it is intended by the person or persons making it to be a deed has effect, upon delivery, as a deed; and it shall be presumed, unless a contrary intention is proved, to be delivered upon its being so executed. (8) In favour of a purchaser a document shall be deemed to have been duly executed by such a body if it purports to be signed— (a) by a majority of the trustees of the relevant charity, or (b) by such of the trustees of the relevant charity as are authorised by the trustees of that charity to execute it in the name and on behalf of the body, and, where the document makes it clear on its face that it is intended by the person or persons making it to be a deed, it shall be deemed to have been delivered upon its being executed. For this purpose “purchaser” means a purchaser in good faith for valuable consideration and includes a lessee, mortgagee or other person who for valuable consideration acquires an interest in property. (12A) (1) Where the Commissioners are satisfied— (a) that an incorporated body has no assets or does not operate, or (b) that the relevant charity in the case of an incorporated body has ceased to exist, or (c) that the institution previously constituting, or treated by them as constituting, any such charity has ceased to be, or (as the case may be) was not at the time of the body’s incorporation, a charity, or (d) that the purposes of the relevant charity in the case of an incorporated body have been achieved so far as is possible or are in practice incapable of being achieved, they may of their own motion make an order dissolving the body as from such date as is specified in the order. (2) Where the Commissioners are satisfied, on the application of the trustees of the relevant charity in the case of an incorporated body, that it would be in the interests of the charity for that body to be dissolved, the Commissioners may make an order dissolving the body as from such date as is specified in the order. (3) Subject to subsection (4) below, an order made under this section with respect to an incorporated body shall have the effect of vesting in the trustees of the relevant charity, in trust for that charity, all property for the time being vested— (a) in the body, or (b) in any other person (apart from the official custodian for charities), in trust for that charity. (4) If the Commissioners so direct in the order— (a) all or any specified part of that property shall, instead of vesting in the trustees of the relevant charity, vest— (i) in a specified person as trustee for, or nominee of, that charity, or (ii) in such persons (other than the trustees of the relevant charity) as may be specified; (b) any specified investments, or any specified class or description of investments, held by any person in trust for the relevant charity shall be transferred— (i) to the trustees of that charity, or (ii) to any such person or persons as is or are mentioned in paragraph (a)(i) or (ii) above; and for this purpose “specified” means specified by the Commissioners in the order. (5) Where an order to which this subsection applies is made with respect to an incorporated body— (a) any rights or liabilities of the body shall become rights or liabilities of the trustees of the relevant charity; and (b) any legal proceedings that might have been continued or commenced by or against the body may be continued or commenced by or against those trustees. (6) Subsection (5) above applies to any order under this section by virtue of which— (a) any property vested as mentioned in subsection (3) above is vested— (i) in the trustees of the relevant charity, or (ii) in any person as trustee for, or nominee of, that charity; or (b) any investments held by any person in trust for the relevant charity are required to be transferred— (i) to the trustees of that charity, or (ii) to any person as trustee for, or nominee of, that charity. (7) Any order made by the Commissioners under this section may be varied or revoked by a further order so made.

10

For section 14 of the 1872 Act substitute—

(14) In this Act— - “charity” has the same meaning as in the Charities Act 1960; - “the Commissioners” means the Charity Commissioners; - “incorporated body” means a body incorporated under section 1 of this Act; - “the relevant charity”, in relation to an incorporated body, means the charity the trustees of which have been incorporated as that body; - “the trustees”, in relation to a charity, means the charity trustees within the meaning of the Charities Act 1960.
