13. Recently, in BAYOUMI v. WOMEN'S TOTAL ABSTINENCE (2004) 3 ALL ER 110 at page 117) the Court of Appeal, Civil Division has laid down the law as under:-
" Statutory restrictions on the sale, lease or other disposition of charity land in England and Wales were introduced by the Charitable Trusts Amendment Act, 1855. Before that statutory intervention, the position was that, subject to the terms upon which the land had been conveyed to them, charitable corporations and charity trustees had power to sell, lease or mortgage charity land. But the transaction was liable to be set aside in equity unless it was shown to be beneficial to the charity; and the onus to establish that it was beneficial to the charity was on the purchaser."
