14 Ilott v Mitson (cont.) The Charities do not make any case that they have resources or needs to be taken into account For the Charities, any money from this estate is a windfall. The only beneficiaries are the Charities, who can have no expectation either: the deceased had no connection with the Charities. [The Charities] have no demonstrated need or expectation. since [the Charities] do not rely on any competing need they are not prejudiced by what may be a higher award than the court would otherwise need to make.

16 Charity Commission Guidance Trustees have a duty to protect or secure their charity s assets and, where necessary, to recover, assets belonging to the charity; taking or defending legal action might be one way to fulfil this duty London l Geneva l Zurich l Milan l Padua l New York l Greenwich l New Haven l San Francisco l Hong Kong l Singapore l BVI
17 Charity Commission Guidelines cont. A charity s funds must be spent on carrying out its aims and the trustees have a duty to act in the best interests of their charity a decision to take or defend legal action must be made exclusively in the best interests of the charity, having considered whether or not another course of action is available London l Geneva l Zurich l Milan l Padua l New York l Greenwich l New Haven l San Francisco l Hong Kong l Singapore l BVI
18 Charity Commission Guidance cont. In making their decision, the trustees should: take and consider legal advice consider and assess the economic prospects of success or failure and the impact on the charity consider whether their intended actions are proportionate in the circumstances decide whether it is necessary or appropriate to ask for the commission s consent or advice London l Geneva l Zurich l Milan l Padua l New York l Greenwich l New Haven l San Francisco l Hong Kong l Singapore l BVI
19 Charity Commission Guidance cont. Whatever the outcome of legal action, the downsides are typically that it will cost the charity time and money and may have a negative impact on its reputation even if the charity wins it may not recover all its legal costs London l Geneva l Zurich l Milan l Padua l New York l Greenwich l New Haven l San Francisco l Hong Kong l Singapore l BVI
20 Charity Commission Guidance cont. Unless time constraints for bringing or responding to an action prevent it, the commission will expect trustees to explore and, if appropriate, rule out all other reasonable options open to them to resolve the issue, such as alternative dispute resolution or agreeing a legal compromise London l Geneva l Zurich l Milan l Padua l New York l Greenwich l New Haven l San Francisco l Hong Kong l Singapore l BVI
21 Charity Commission Guidance cont. Unless a charity has the necessary in house experience, in order to make a proper decision it will usually be appropriate to take and consider professional legal advice, as well as whatever other specialist advice they might need to inform their decision London l Geneva l Zurich l Milan l Padua l New York l Greenwich l New Haven l San Francisco l Hong Kong l Singapore l BVI
22 Charity Commission Guidance cont. Transparency about the reasons for taking legal action is very important in explaining why the trustees decided on this course of action the trustees must be able to justify their decision because the charity s actions may have an impact on the charity s reputation and supporters London l Geneva l Zurich l Milan l Padua l New York l Greenwich l New Haven l San Francisco l Hong Kong l Singapore l BVI
