Court ruling could affect charities' use of empty buildings: A High Court judge has ruled that local authorities are allowed to consider the extent of a charity’s charitable use of a private landlord’s empty building before deciding whether to grant mandatory rate relief.

The recent judgment could have implications for the growing practice of charities renting empty properties from landlords in return for donations.
