Court

High Court

The Court approved the proposed trust deed and ancillary provisions because the scheme satisfied the statutory requirements of s56 (it is proper, lawful, charitable in purpose and compliant with Part 3), the Attorney‑General supported the proposal, and formalisation was necessary to enable effective administration; the Court also ordered that reasonable expenses of the application be paid from the Trust under s52.

Court

High Court

The Court approved the proposed Part III scheme because it remedied the administrative hiatus caused by the dissolution of the appointing Society, met statutory prerequisites, had the Attorney-General's support, proposed transparent appointment procedures, and objections did not demonstrate a reason to refuse approval or to permit the Court to impose an alternative appointing body.
