Under s.72(6) of the 1993 Act we have a statutory duty to keep a register of all persons removed from the office of charity trustee or trustee for a charity either: |
| |
by our Order under s.18(2)(1) of the 1993 Act or under s.20 of the Charities Act 1960 (whether before or after amendment by the Charities Act 1992); or |
| |
by an Order of the High Court since 1 January 1993. |
| |
This register must be available for public inspection in legible form at all reasonable times (ss.72(6) and (7)). |
| |
This register is maintained by the Intelligence team who pass up-to-date copies to Registration Division to be kept open for public inspection with the Central Register of Charities in all three Commission offices. If a member of staff in any division comes across a case where someone has been removed by us from being a trustee whose name is not on the register, the papers should be passed to the Intelligence team to rectify the position. |
| |
The Court is responsible for notifying us of persons removed by Order of the High Court. |
