Mohammed v Patel [2024] EWHC 2581 (Ch)
Maxim Cardew represented the successful applicants in Mohammed v Patel [2024] EWHC 2581 (Ch) in their application for a declaration and injunctive relief calling for fresh elections to the Executive Committee of a Charity operating a substantial mosque. The case concerned the correct construction of the constitution of the Charity (an unincorporated association), the lawfulness of a previous election that had been held, and the appropriate test for granting declaratory and injunctive relief in such circumstances. The decision also considered whether and in what circumstances the constitution of a charitable unincorporated association could be waived or varied.
