Laidlaw Act

The Laidlaw Act of 1800 was a British law that created the Laidlaw Trust, which owns and manages land to generate income for charitable purposes. The Act set rules for how the trust's funds could be used, ensuring the income benefits those in need, such as the poor and educational causes. It aimed to provide a structured way to manage and distribute assets for public good, ensuring long-term support for community welfare through dedicated management and oversight.
