The Centre for Philanthropy and Nonprofits Studies (CPNS) at Queensland University of Technology has released its first annual almanac of the legal developments in not‐for‐profit law.

The Australian Nonprofits Sector Legal Almanac 2008 is designed as a quick reference guide to major developments in the law, with links to web versions of the relevant cases and documents for more detailed reading.

"The almanac contains summaries of selected major cases involving non‐profits from 2008, together with commentary on their implications for the sector,” CPNS says.

"Important developments in cases about taxation, insolvency, non‐profit governance, employment and workplace relations, negligence and trusts are covered.”

The guide will be released annually, with the next version scheduled for release in early 2010.
