Part 2: Charity Land Section 19: Advertising and report requirements for disposition of charity land
Section 19(a) removes the automatic statutory requirement under section 119(1)(b) of the CA 2011 to advertise a proposed disposition as advised in the surveyor’s report. The charity must consider any advice on advertising that is given by the surveyor (or other designated adviser), but there is no longer a statutory requirement to follow that advice. Section 19(b) removes the superfluous requirement, in section 119(4), that a surveyor’s report, must "contain such information" as may be prescribed by regulations made by the Secretary of State, leaving instead a general requirement that such reports "deal with such matters" as may be prescribed by regulations. These amendments reflect updated regulations recommended by the Law Commission prescribing the contents of reports under section 119(1). 10
