Abstract

The Charity Tribunal for England and Wales opened in 2008, and has become an important feature in the regulatory landscape for charities. A systematic understanding of the forum is crucial because its work is pivotal to the legal machinery of charities. This thesis considers the extent to which the Tribunal is an improvement on the High Court, to which it can influence charity regulation, and to which it can help charity law develop. The project thematically analyses every recorded Tribunal action, concludes that reforms are needed, and suggests legislative amendments and changes to practice to facilitate the Tribunal’s promising future.
