The Court held that deleting the sectarian limitation on religious services was necessary because it was impracticable to continue the restriction, the amended purposes remain charitable and as close as possible to the settlor's intent, and that the proposed variations to trustees' powers and indemnity provisions fall within s33 as they would facilitate administration; accordingly the scheme was approved under ss 32 and 33.
