자주 묻는 질문

What is the public benefit requirement for charitable trusts?

Charitable trusts must confer a tangible benefit on the public or a sufficiently large section. Cases like Gilmour v Coats [1949] show that unproven spiritual benefits (e.g., prayers of nuns) do not satisfy this test.

How does the 'exclusively charitable' rule work in AND/OR cases?

Trusts for 'charitable and benevolent' purposes are not exclusively charitable (Chichester Diocesan Fund v Simpson [1941]), but 'charitable or benevolent' may be read conjunctively as exclusively charitable (Re Best [1904]).

What happens to donations from a failed public appeal?

Identifiable donations are returned as resulting trust if the donor disclaims or does not respond; unidentifiable donations are applied cy-pres. Under s17 CA 2006, the appeal can include a statement to use cy-pres unless a 'relevant declaration' is made.

When does cy-pres apply to charitable gifts?

Cy-pres applies automatically for subsequent failure (gift becomes impossible after the disposition). For initial failure, it applies only if the settlor had a general charitable intent; otherwise, the gift fails.

How are gifts to charitable institutions that have ceased to exist treated?

Under Re Vernons WT [1972], if the institution continues in another form or its purpose is taken over, the gift may not fail. For charitable companies, the gift fails unless expressed for a purpose that continues.

What is the 'personal nexus test' in charitable trusts?

The personal nexus test, from Oppenheim v Tobacco Securities Trust Co Ltd [1951], applies to education and other heads: if the beneficiaries are defined by a personal relationship to the settlor, the trust may not be charitable.
