OXFORD GROUP
BEQUEST DECLARED INVALID BY BRITISH CHANCERY JUDGE. LEGAL AND OTHER ISSUES. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. (Received This Day, 11.10 a.m.) LONDON, March 9. Mr Justice Bennett, in the Chancery Division, held that a, bequest of £5OO to the Oxford Group was invalid, because the group did not exist as an association of which anybody could be secretary or with an officer capable of giving a receipt for a legacy. On the question whether the group’s purposes were charitable, it was suggested that the group existed for the advancement of religion, but he found no evidence that the group existed for the promotion of religion in a legal sense. Therefore he could not hold that the purposes of members of the Oxford Group were religious.
