(a)a new exempt charity which is or was the subject of a relevant inquiry; or

(b)the charity trustees of such a charity,

that it could take under the 1993 Act in relation to a charity which is not an exempt charity or (as the case may be) the charity trustees of a charity that is not an exempt charity.

Need for an order under section 36 of the 1993 Act in relation to a new exempt charity

8.—(1) Section 36 of the 1993 Act continues to apply to a relevant disposition of land held by or in trust for a new exempt charity as it applies to a disposition of land held by or in trust for a charity which is not an exempt charity.

(2) A disposition of land held by or in trust for a new exempt charity is a “relevant disposition” if—

(a)the charity trustees proposed that the land in question be disposed of (whether by conveyance, transfer, lease or otherwise) before the appointed day; but

(b)the relevant disposition had not been effected before that day.

9.—(1) Section 38 of the 1993 Act continues to apply to a relevant mortgage of land held by or in trust for a new exempt charity as it applies to a mortgage of land held by or in trust for a charity which is not an exempt charity.

(a)proposed that the mortgage be executed before the appointed day; but

(b)had not executed it before that day.

(3) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) it does not matter whether the mortgage—

(a)will only have effect to secure the repayment of sums paid by way of the proposed loan or grant or discharge of the proposed obligation; or

(b)will also have effect to secure the repayment of sums paid by way of loan or grant, or the discharge of other obligations undertaken, after the date of its execution.
