  • [2006] ANZLH E-Journal
    [2006] ANZLH E-Journal PEMSEL REVISITED THE LEGAL DEFINITIION OF CHARITABLE: A CASE STUDY OF A MOVEABLE FEAST Jean Ely* ‘Well, we might need to revisit that and tell their Lordships they were wrong.’ Justice Michael Kirby1 Overview: According to the Business Review Weekly of March 24-30 2005 2 ‘charities’ constitute a $70 billion third sector of the Australian economy. The use of the common law rather than statutory definition of ‘charitable’ in taxation legislation is considered a problem by various Law Reform Commissions and some members of the judiciary such as Justice Kirby. The ‘legal’ definition of ‘charitable’ is a ‘transplanted category,’ a concept imported into taxation law from trust law. This paper looks backwards into the development of the definition of charitable in trust law and raises the policy question whether the common law ‘legal’ definition of charity has passed its ‘used by’ date in taxation law. INTRODUCTION Taxation exemptions provided through adaptation of Lord Macnaghten’s common law definition of ‘charitable’ in the 1891 House of Lords Pemsel case have highlighted growing strain between the not-for profit and for-profit sector in the economy. In the last two decades official and academic reports have discussed both the definition and regulation of charities,3 and judges and commentators have expressed unease at tensions between legal and eleemosynary meanings of the word. 4 Criticism has surfaced in Australia in the Business Review Weekly and in some newspaper reports.5 Commercial interests complain about the uneven playing field on which they are expected to compete with * Research Fellow in the Taxation Law and Policy Research Institute at Monash; Research Fellow School of History, University of Melbourne.

  • Has Poor Relief Declined in Jamaica? a Preliminary Investigation
    HAS POOR RELIEF DECLINED IN JAMAICA? A PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION Philip D. Osei Abstract This paper studied the changing fortunes of Poor Relief, a prototype social security benefit that was officially instituted in Jamaica in 1886, and managed by the local authorities. It was discovered that although a number of public inquiries have been conducted into the conditions in which poor people lived, in general, and into the management of poor relief in particular, management of the policy did not keep abreast with developments in modern management. Poor relief has been surpassed by other politically visible modern programmes of poverty reduction. A general deterioration in economic fortunes of the country has also had a negative impact on the supply and real value of public investments in poor relief. Poor relief as a public programme, therefore, requires a serious review. INTRODUCTION Poor relief is a prototype social security benefit that is paid to eligible persons under the law in Jamaica. It was administered as part of the institutions of local government transplanted by the British colonialists from the metropolis to the Caribbean. In spite of its presence in the region for over a century, there is a paucity of academic research on the subject. The most important academic research on poor relief is that done by L P Fletcher (1992) on the system inherited from nineteenth century Barbados, tracing the evolution and administration of the policy from 1900 to 1969. For Jamaica too, poor relief has been an important plank of social and local governance policies for over one and a quarter centuries.

  • The Crime of Poverty: the Rise and Fall of the Workhouse From
    The Crime of Poverty: The Rise and Fall of the Workhouse From Elizabethan England to Kansas City, Missouri Samantha Carroll Truman State University Faculty Mentor: Dr. Neal McNabb 1 “I believe in work. Criminals do not. I believe the best way to make a man better, of purifying him body and soul, is to keep him at work.” - Police Judge Henry G. Kyle Introduction In today’s politically charged environment, there are many challenges constantly being debated. Controversial opinions concerning taxes, war, and healthcare fly across media screens on a daily basis, with rallies of people arguing competing perspectives. However, there is one issue that has been perhaps overshadowed by the rest: poverty and those affected by it. Poverty has always existed in modern society, and those living in it have often been neglected, and even abused, throughout history. As time has progressed, what used to be a civil distaste for the poor has at times metastasized into outright hatred and structural victimization. In order to grasp the institutionalized neglect of the downtrodden, it is important to rediscover the grim history of those struggling with poverty. One institution that played a crucial role in the systematic abuse of the destitute members of society was the workhouse. This paper will outline the purpose and nature of the institution of the workhouse, while special attention will be given to the Kansas City (Missouri) workhouse, which served as an example of a more progressive vision of the workhouse dedicated more to rehabilitation than punishment. Elizabethan Poor Laws and the Invention of the Workhouse The workhouse has its origins in 17th century England.
