Description
Summary:This article explores the impact of charity law and regulation on churches in the period 1993-2009 in the jurisdictions of England and Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. In the past, churches have often escaped the full requirements of charity regulation on issues such as registration, reporting, and accountability to regulators. Many of these exemptions have been removed as a result of modernization of charity law throughout the UK, and the implications of these changes are explored both normatively and qualitatively.
