Regulator accused of taking sides and disregarding law in supervision of boardroom dispute at Actors’ Benevolent Fund
The Charity Commission has launched a formal review of its controversial handling of an acrimonious long-running dispute at an actors’ charity supported by King Charles after complaints that it endorsed law-breaking and discrimination.
The move follows furious criticism of the commission by the actor Dame Penelope Keith, who has accused the regulator of legitimising an unlawful board takeover of the £40m Actors’ Benevolent Fund (ABF) and undermining public trust in charities.
