The Commission received representations about a proposed Scheme that would replace the existing trusts of the charities. The Scheme would appoint a non-charitable company as trustee of the charities, vest the land owned by the Estate charity in the new company and update certain provisions of the existing trusts, including the objects of the charities.
A review of the representations was conducted by a senior manager in the Commission’s Operations Liverpool team, who gave those who had commented on the draft Scheme the opportunity to clarify their representations by telephone. Following careful consideration of the representations made to the Commission, the reviewer decided that the Scheme should be made as drafted.
