Charity Law is a subject with deep historic roots but unquestionable contemporary significance, having regard both to the huge social and economic importance of the charitable sector and to recent judicial and legislative developments across the common law world. In this module you will learn about the not-for-profit sector and its regulatory framework, and explore debates such as: What does, or should, ‘charity’ actually mean? Can charities be involved in political campaigning? Can they discriminate? Should private hospitals and religion be charitable? You will also learn from comparisons with other jurisdictions, including Australia, Canada and the rest of the UK.
