Charity Law & Social Policy explores contemporary law,
policy and practice in a range of modern common law nations. It
does so in four parts and from the perspective of how this has
evolved in the UK.
As progenitor of a system bequeathed to its colonies and after
centuries of leadership in developing the core principles, policies
and precedents that subsequently shaped its development, the
contribution of England & Wales, the originating jurisdiction,
is first described and analysed in detail. This is achieved in the
seven chapters comprising Parts 1 and 2. These broadly sketch the
parameters and role of charity seen as a mix of public and private
interests - then address the law s role in protecting, policing,
adjusting and supporting charity. This provides the critical
dimensions for the comparative analysis of experience in the common
law nations that constitutes the main part of the book.
Part 3, in 5 chapters, provides an analysis of the legal
functions as they apply to type of need and thereby give effect to
social policy in Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the
United States of America. Part 4 concludes with three chapters that
appraise political influence as a factor in aligning charity law
with social policy to create a facilitative environment for
appropriate charitable activity. Attention is given to the central
role of the regulator, contemporary charity law frameworks and
definitional boundaries."
