This Act may be cited as the Religious, Charitable, and Educational Trusts Amendment Act, 1928, and shall be read together with and deemed part of the Religious, Charitable, and Educational Trusts Act, 1908 (hereinafter referred to as the principal Act).

Section thirteen of the principal Act is hereby amended by omitting the words “sell, exchange, or dedicate all or any of its property for any public purpose,” and substituting the words “dedicate all or any of its property for any public purpose, or may sell or exchange the same.”

The expression “charitable purpose” as used in Part III and Part IV of the principal Act not only includes the several purposes expressly mentioned in section fourteen or in section thirty-one of the principal Act, as the case may be, but also includes every other purpose which in accordance with the law of England is a charitable purpose.

Section fifteen of the principal Act is hereby amended by inserting, after the words “where it becomes impossible or impracticable,” the words “or inexpedient.”

Where, pursuant to Part III or Part IV of the principal Act, a scheme has been approved by a Judge of the Supreme Court in the case of a scheme under Part III, or by the Attorney-General in the case of a scheme under Part IV, the purposes defined in such scheme may, subject to the provisions of section fifteen or of section thirty-three of the principal Act, as the case may be, be altered in the same manner in all respects as the original purpose or purposes were altered, and in any such case the original purpose or purposes may be restored, with or without modifications.

The powers conferred by this section shall apply with respect to schemes approved as aforesaid before or after the passing of this Act.

Section twenty-six of the principal Act is hereby consequentially repealed.
