Where section 4(1) of the Charities Act 1992 applies, the Charity Commissioners may give a direction requiring the name of a charity to be changed to such other name as the charity trustees may determine with the approval of the Commissioners. One of the sets of circumstances where section 4(1) applies to a charity is set out in section 4(2)(c). This applies where the name of the charity includes any word or expression for the time being specified in regulations made by the Secretary of State and the inclusion in its name of that word or expression is in the opinion of the Commissioners likely to mislead the public in any respect as to the status of the charity. The words and expressions set out in the Schedule to the Regulations are specified for this purpose. Under the Charities Act 1992 (Commencement No.1 and Transitional Provisions) Order 1992 (S.I. 1992/1990), section 4 will come into force on 1st September 1992.
