Part 1: Purposes, Powers and Governing Documents Section 3: Powers of unincorporated charities Repeal of certain existing powers
Section 3(1) repeals:
the power under sections 267 to 274 of the CA 2011 for certain unincorporated charities (with an income of £10,000 or less and which do not hold designated land) to resolve to transfer all their property to another charity;
the power under sections 275 to 279 of the CA 2011 for a small unincorporated charity (with an income of £10,000 or less and no designated land) to alter its purposes; and
the power under section 280 of the CA 2011 for any unincorporated charity to modify administrative provisions in its governing document.
	It replaces these specific powers with a new general power to amend the governing documents of an unincorporated charity under new sections 280A and 280B: section 3(2). A resolution passed under sections 268(1), 275(2) or 280(2) of the CA 2011 prior to the commencement of section 3 will not be affected by the repeal of sections 267 to 280: section 3(3).
