Northern Ireland's charity act to be amended - Third Sector: "Lawyers claim the current act is open to challenge because it combines elements of both English and Scottish charity law

Northern Ireland's Charities Act will be amended in order to clear up a discrepancy caused by its mixture of English and Scottish law.

The act, passed in 2008, contains some provisions taken from the Charities Act 2006, which applies to England and Wales, and some from the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005."
