- High Court
The Charities Board erred in treating political advocacy as inherently non-charitable; political advocacy can be charitable depending on the end advocated, the means used and the manner of promotion; accordingly the appeal is allowed and the Board must reconsider deregistration in light of Re Greenpeace and this judgment; the claim of substantive legitimate expectation failed for lack of a clear unambiguous undertaking.
