The Charities Act 2011 (Commencement No. 3) Order 2017

This Order brings into force provisions in the Charities Act 2011 which enable existing corporate bodies to convert to become charitable incorporated organisations (“CIOs”). These correspond to provisions in the Charities Act 1993 (as amended by the Charities Act 2006), which were consolidated in the 2011 Act. The 2011 Act generally came into force on 14 March 2012. As the 1993 Act provisions had not been commenced (except for the purpose of enabling subordinate legislation to be made), the corresponding provisions in the 2011 Act were subject to transitory modifications, so that until the relevant commencement date they were to be treated as if they were omitted from the 2011 Act. This Order appoints 1st January 2018 as “the relevant commencement date” for the purposes of these remaining provisions.
