Part 7: General Section 37: Public notice as regards Commission orders etc.
Under section 337(3) of the CA 2011, the Charity Commission has the power to give public notice of the making or contents of any order or to require the charity to give such notice. Section 37 inserts a new subsection 337(2A) to make clear that the power of the Charity Commission to give notice of the making or contents of orders, or to require the charity to do so, extends to the giving of prior notice of proposed orders. So, public notice can be given of (i) a proposed order before it has been made, and (ii) an order once it has been made.
	Section 37(2)(b) extends the power of the Charity Commission to give public notice (or require public notice to be given) whenever the consent of the Charity Commission is required under sections 67A, 198, 226 or 280A. As with prior notice of orders, new subsection (3A) provides for the giving of notice whenever written consent is sought under sections 67A, 198, 226 or 280A, and for the giving of notice whenever written consent under those sections is given. So, public notice can be given of (i) a request for Charity Commission consent before consent has been given, and (ii) the giving of consent by the Charity Commission.
	Section 37(3) amends section 338 of the CA 2011 so that the provisions of the amended section 337 can apply equally in relation to directions as they apply in relation to orders of the Charity Commission under any provision of the CA 2011.
