Butler-Sloss v Charity Commission for England and Wales
[2022] EWHC 974 (Ch); [2022] Ch 371
Key Principle
Charity trustees' power of investment must be exercised to further the charity's purposes; while this normally means seeking the best financial return, trustees have a discretion to exclude investments which they reasonably conclude conflict with the charity's purposes, weighing the risk of financial detriment against the likelihood and seriousness of the conflict.
