Charities podcast – The CIFF case with Elizabeth Jones and Julian Smith

Last month we covered the recent Supreme Court judgment in the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (UK) (CIFF) case in an article. It can be read here if you missed it.

It is also the topic for our September podcast, on which I am joined by Julian Smith, a fellow partner in the Charities team. The case found that in principle members of all charitable companies owe fiduciary duties to the purposes of the charitable company.

In the podcast we delve into the technical detail of the case as well as considering its significance for charities and what practical implications may flow from this judgment. It will be relevant to those involved with charities established as a company limited by guarantee and possibly also other charities with two tier structures that involve members and trustees.
