An ex-gratia payment is an agreement to a payment being made from a sense of moral obligation rather than because of any legal requirement. This course covers: when the concept of ex gratia payment originated; what an ex gratia payment is and when one can be made; the powers under section 106 of the Charities Act 2011; the procedure for applying for consent to make an ex-gratia payment; and the potential ex-gratia type scenarios that might arise.
