Charities

Written by a team of specialist charity lawyers from Bates Wells & Braithwaite, this book includes expert commentary and practical advice on the new law. Crucially, it includes the 1993 and 1992 Acts shown as they will be amended by the 2006 Act, together with the full text of the 2006 Act.
