Charitable Trusts Act 1957

Schedule 1AA: Transitional, savings, and related provisions

You could also call this:

“Rules for old and new charitable trust boards”

Sections 15 and 15A of the Charitable Trusts Act 1957 apply to all boards, no matter when they were incorporated. This means these sections work for boards that were set up before or after the new rules came into effect.

The new rules started on what’s called the “commencement date”. This is the day when Part 4 of the Regulatory Systems (Economic Development) Amendment Act 2025 began working.

If you want to know more about what Sections 15 and 15A say, you can look them up in the Charitable Trusts Act 1957. These sections might have important information about how charitable trusts work.
