The Law Commission has released its final Report on the Review of the Incorporated Societies Act 1908. The Report, which is titled A New Act for Incorporated Societies (R129, 2013) recommends new incorporated societies legislation in place of the current act: The Incorporated Societies Act 1908.
The Law Commission recommends that new legislation should:
- provide a set of basic duties for committee members and any other officers of societies
- provide a procedure for dealing with financial conflicts of interest
- require every society to include disputes procedures in its constitution
- provide a model constitution that a society can adopt as an alternative to drafting its own constitution
