Ian Murray

Much has been written in charity law on the type of benefits that charities can provide - charitable purposes - and towards whom such benefits must be directed - the public benefit question. Almost nothing has been written about when benefits must be provided. However, accumulation of assets by charities raises profound ethical, economic and social considerations that are highlighted by the present retreat of the welfare state and the impact of the Global Financial Crisis and COVID-19. This book analyses the issue through a normative, doctrinal and comparative analysis of the legal constraints upon accumulation by charities. It reveals that the legal restraints contain significant gaps in relation to the intergenerational distribution of benefits and to the balance of decision-making between generations. In particular, the book asserts that there is room for law reform to better identify and incorporate principles of intergenerational justice into the regulation of charities.

Imagine if your club, the love of your life, was about to play its last ever game. This is the story of the Heart of Midlothian - Edinburgh’s oldest football club first formed in 1874 - and its heroic 8000 fans, or Jambos as they’re affectionately known, who in 2014 donated their own money to help save Hearts from ruin. Ian Murray chronicles how in 2014 after a 13 month turmoil for fans and a media firestorm, Heart of Midlothian F.C. was finally saved from liquidation. Murray’s new title commemorates Hearts fans and their sheer determination - unprecedented in footballing history - to rescue their beloved club from disaster and raise it up to the top of Scottish football.
