Decision of the Commission dated 16 December 2016.

The commission considered an application by the Temple of the Jedi Order for registration as a charity and concluded that the organisation was not established for exclusivity charitable purposes and could not be registered. The commission was not satisfied that Jediism is a religion in charity law.

This is a significant decision because the commission had to consider the definition of religion in charity law.
