LEGAL ISSUES

General

Charities, like most of us, would prefer to avoid court proceedings as much as possible. Yet, from time to time, charities and charitable giving matters do end up in front of the courts. This session will give participants an overview of some of the recent matters heard by the courts involving charities and charitable giving. It will examine the circumstances giving rise to these court proceedings and provide participants with proactive strategies to attempt to avoid these circumstances from arising in the future.
