Details

First published in 1854, Tudor on Charities is the most highly-respected practitioner guide in this area providing thorough analysis of the law relating to charities and their administration, including taxation, accounting and fundraising. It has recently been cited by judges in a wide range of higher courts, including the Supreme Court of Canada, the Court of Appeal of New Zealand and the High Court of Hong Kong.

Much more than just a statement of the law, it examines each aspect of the subject in detail, helping practitioners understand the development and rationale of charity law. The 9th edition has been fully updated to consider legal developments to 2003.
