Comparative law; Equity & trusts; Charity law

This book presents a critical, in-depth analysis of the changes taking place in the governance of charities and charity law in Australia, New Zealand, and England.

Delving into the transformative journey of charity law, the book reveals its dramatic shift from traditional private law regulation, governed by the courts and trust law, to an advanced, regulatory framework. This pivot is not just a legal transition; it reflects the core tension within charity itself – the balancing act between private initiative and public good.

Featuring contributions from both renowned and up-and-coming international charity law scholars, this book stands out for its comprehensive coverage. Each chapter delves into the nuanced, complex issues arising from the modernisation of charity law, providing a rich, insightful exploration of the concept of 'charity' as it straddles the realms of legal theory and state-regulated practice.
