The Court held Liberty Trust's primary purpose is the advancement of the Christian religion because its teaching of biblical financial principles and the interest-free lending scheme are integrated practical outworkings of its faith; the public benefit presumption for religious charities was not rebutted on the facts; the Charities Commission erred in law and in its factual assessment by separating the teaching and lending and by treating member benefits as dispositive; the deregistration was set aside and Liberty Trust reinstated.
