Contencioso caritativo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As institui\u00e7\u00f5es de solidariedade social, tal como qualquer outra organiza\u00e7\u00e3o comercial, podem deparar-se com quest\u00f5es como a viola\u00e7\u00e3o de contratos, quest\u00f5es laborais, lit\u00edgios imobili\u00e1rios e muitas outras. As ac\u00e7\u00f5es judiciais podem representar um risco significativo para uma institui\u00e7\u00e3o de solidariedade social, para a sua reputa\u00e7\u00e3o e para os seus administradores.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Quando confrontados com uma potencial reclama\u00e7\u00e3o, quer na apresenta\u00e7\u00e3o quer na defesa de uma a\u00e7\u00e3o legal, os administradores de institui\u00e7\u00f5es de caridade devem tomar todas as decis\u00f5es com base no que seria o melhor interesse da institui\u00e7\u00e3o. Isto, juntamente com todas as outras obriga\u00e7\u00f5es legais que os administradores t\u00eam, rege cada decis\u00e3o que \u00e9 tomada, ou n\u00e3o tomada, pelos administradores, em todos os momentos em que lidam com o assunto em disputa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Os administradores devem verificar se outras op\u00e7\u00f5es, como a negocia\u00e7\u00e3o e a media\u00e7\u00e3o, s\u00e3o vi\u00e1veis. Para tomarem decis\u00f5es informadas, os administradores devem considerar o aconselhamento jur\u00eddico mesmo nas fases iniciais de um lit\u00edgio, especialmente se os administradores n\u00e3o forem especialistas na \u00e1rea do lit\u00edgio. Se n\u00e3o recorrerem a aconselhamento jur\u00eddico numa fase inicial, os administradores podem arriscar-se a p\u00f4r em risco os melhores interesses da institui\u00e7\u00e3o de caridade. Em determinadas circunst\u00e2ncias, pode at\u00e9 ser um requisito legal para os administradores obterem aconselhamento adequado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Os consultores jur\u00eddicos podem ajudar os administradores a explorar as op\u00e7\u00f5es de resolu\u00e7\u00e3o do lit\u00edgio e fornecer aconselhamento personalizado sobre as op\u00e7\u00f5es dispon\u00edveis para a institui\u00e7\u00e3o de solidariedade social e a nossa recomenda\u00e7\u00e3o especializada sobre a via mais adequada a seguir pela institui\u00e7\u00e3o. Quando o tempo \u00e9 escasso, os administradores n\u00e3o devem adiar a procura de aconselhamento jur\u00eddico, se necess\u00e1rio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Os administradores devem ter em conta e gerir corretamente os custos potenciais envolvidos. Os administradores devem pedir aos seus consultores jur\u00eddicos estimativas de custos razo\u00e1veis e descobrir se t\u00eam despesas legais cobertas por qualquer ap\u00f3lice de seguro que a institui\u00e7\u00e3o de caridade possa ter. \u00c9 importante que os administradores compreendam que, mesmo que consigam apresentar ou defender uma queixa, nem todos os custos incorridos ser\u00e3o recuper\u00e1veis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Em determinadas circunst\u00e2ncias, os administradores devem considerar se \u00e9 necess\u00e1rio obter o consentimento ou aconselhamento da Comiss\u00e3o de Caridade antes de decidirem litigar, como por exemplo para uma ordem que autorize a utiliza\u00e7\u00e3o de fundos de caridade para litiga\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Os administradores devem tamb\u00e9m estar cientes de que podem ser pessoalmente responsabilizados por quaisquer consequ\u00eancias ou perdas que possam resultar do facto de os administradores violarem os seus deveres legais e tomarem decis\u00f5es mal fundamentadas em rela\u00e7\u00e3o ao lit\u00edgio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Comiss\u00e3o de Caridade emitiu um lista de controlo para os administradores<\/a> para os ajudar a decidir se devem ou n\u00e3o apresentar ou defender um pedido de indemniza\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A decis\u00e3o de litigar n\u00e3o \u00e9 uma decis\u00e3o f\u00e1cil para os administradores e, embora tenha de ser cuidadosamente ponderada em rela\u00e7\u00e3o a todos os factores, n\u00e3o ser\u00e1, na maioria dos casos, do interesse da institui\u00e7\u00e3o de caridade atrasar ou evitar lidar com o lit\u00edgio ou atrasar a decis\u00e3o sobre se \u00e9 do interesse da institui\u00e7\u00e3o de caridade envolver-se em correspond\u00eancia pr\u00e9-a\u00e7\u00e3o ou iniciar um processo judicial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
