Contentieux caritatif<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Les organisations caritatives, comme toute autre organisation commerciale, peuvent \u00eatre confront\u00e9es \u00e0 des probl\u00e8mes tels que des ruptures de contrat, des probl\u00e8mes d'emploi, des conflits de propri\u00e9t\u00e9, et bien d'autres encore. Une action en justice est souvent susceptible de repr\u00e9senter un risque important pour une organisation caritative, sa r\u00e9putation et ses administrateurs.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When faced with a potential claim, either in the making or defending of legal action, charity trustees must make every<\/a> decision based on what would be in the best interest of the charity. This, along with all of the other legal obligations that trustees have, governs each decision that is made, or not made, by the trustees, at every point when dealing with the question<\/a> in dispute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trustees should ascertain whether other options such as negotiation and mediation, are feasible. In order to make informed decisions<\/a>, trustees should consider legal advice even at the early stages of a dispute, particularly if the trustees are not experts in the area of dispute. By not taking legal advice at an early stage trustees may risk jeopardising the best interest of the charity. In certain circumstances, it may even be a legal requirement for the trustees to take appropriate advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legal advisers can help trustees explore the options of resolving the dispute and provide tailored advice about<\/a> the options available to the charity and our expert recommendation about the most appropriate route for the charity to take. When there are tight time constraints, trustees should not delay seeking legal advice, if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trustees need to have proper consideration<\/a> and management of the potential costs involved. Trustees should ask their legal advisors for reasonable cost estimates and find out whether they have legal expenses covered under any insurance policy that the charity may have. It is important for trustees to understand that even if they successfully make or defend a claim, not all of the costs incurred va<\/a> be recoverable if any.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In certain circumstances, trustees should consider whether it is necessary to obtain consent or advice from the Charity Commission before deciding to litigate, such as for an order to authorise the use of charity funds for litigation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trustees should also be wary that they can be held personally liable for any consequences<\/a> or losses that may result if the trustees breach<\/a> their legal duties<\/a> and make ill-founded decisions in relation to the dispute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Charity Commission a publi\u00e9 une liste de contr\u00f4le pour les administrateurs<\/a> pour les aider \u00e0 d\u00e9cider s'il y a lieu ou non de d\u00e9poser ou de d\u00e9fendre une demande.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La d\u00e9cision d'intenter une action en justice n'est pas facile \u00e0 prendre pour les administrateurs et, bien qu'elle doive \u00eatre soigneusement \u00e9quilibr\u00e9e en fonction de tous les facteurs, il ne sera pas, dans la plupart des cas, dans l'int\u00e9r\u00eat de l'organisme de bienfaisance de retarder ou d'\u00e9viter de traiter le litige ou de retarder la d\u00e9cision sur la question de savoir s'il est dans l'int\u00e9r\u00eat de l'organisme de bienfaisance d'engager une correspondance pr\u00e9alable \u00e0 l'action ou d'entamer une action en justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
