Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Order)
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Order brings into force certain provisions in the Charities Act 2011 relating to charitable incorporated organisations (“CIOs”). These correspond to provisions in the Charities Act 1993 (as amended by the Charities Act 2006), which were consolidated in the 2011 Act, which came into force on 14 March 2012. As the 1993 Act provisions had not been commenced (except for the purpose of enabling subordinate legislation to be made), the corresponding provisions in the 2011 Act were subject to transitory modifications, so that until the relevant commencement date they were to be treated as if they were omitted from the 2011 Act. All of the provisions relating to CIOs are now commenced by this Order, with the exception of those enabling an existing corporate body to convert to become a CIO.
See also the Charitable Incorporated Organisations (General) Regulations 2012 (S.I. 2012/3012), the Charitable Incorporated Organisations (Insolvency and Dissolution) Regulations 2012 (S.I. 2012/3013) and the Charitable Incorporated Organisations (Consequential Amendments) Order 2012 (S.I. 2012/3014).
