Abstract

In British Columbia, incorporated nonprofit organizations are called societies. The last thirty years have witnessed an expansion both in the number of societies and the scope of their activities. There has also been an increase during this period in the anxiety of society executives -- directors and officers -- over their exposure to personal liability in carrying out tasks related to their executive offices. This study paper examines the legal background to such anxieties and surveys proposals for reform of the law, including various forms of immunity from personal liability for society directors and officers.
