The Law Commission consults on modernisation of Co-operative and Community Benefit Society law

The Law Commission is consulting on the modernisation of Co-operative and Community Benefit Society law. The deadline for responses was 10th December 2024. 

You can read the Law Commission’s Review of the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014 document here, as well as a shorter Summary of the Consultation Paper here.

The Charities and Social Economy team at Wrigleys Solicitors welcomes the opportunity to participate in this review. We have written a number of articles exploring the potential impacts of this consultation on Co-operatives and Community Benefit Societies.

In November 2024 our partner Malcolm Lynch led two insightful discussions via webinar on the ongoing Law Commission Consultation regarding the Cooperatives and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014. Malcolm explored the potential impacts of this consultation on societies and considered possible responses. You can watch these webinars on demand by following the links below.
