Debates in Charity Law

Over the summer of 2020, concerns surfaced in the media and in public debate about the relationship between the WE Charity and the federal government. These concerns refuelled ongoing discussion about the value of charities and non-profit organizations, their status, and their importance as instruments of public policy. This collection of polished essays makes a timely contribution to this discussion and highlights a number of significant issues of public policy and charity law. -- Beth Bilson QC, University of Saskatchewan * The Philanthropist * Debates in Charity Law offers invaluable insights into contemporary debates about the regulation of charities. It is recommended reading for scholars, students and practitioners looking for an extensive collection of topics in charity law. -- Domenico Carolei, University of Stirling * Voluntary Sector Review * An important resource for all those interested in the contemporary challenges posed by the regulation of civil society. -- Ian Murray, University of Western Australia * Law Quarterly Review * An authoritative, wide-ranging look at issues that are or should be of concern to charities and charity law lawyers … The impressive combination of range and depth of the debates themselves will be of great interest and utility to practitioners in the field and to the many lawyers who, voluntarily or otherwise, find themselves involved with charitable organizations. Given the attention that Debates in Charity Law manages to pay to both fundamental and cutting-edge issues, I expect that it will continue to be useful for years to come. -- Charles R Davidson, Davidsons Lawyers * Canadian Law Library Review *
