British Camelids has been covered in some media outlets recently, due to its role acting as the agreed administrator and as a beneficiary of the late Candia Midworth’s estate. Candia was an active and integral part of our organisation and our charitable objectives, and many of us have fond memories of her and her many contributions to the UK camelid industry.
From the outset, British Camelids has always acted in line with professional legal advice and our obligations as a registered charity in this highly complex case. The following statement has been released to the media, summarising the situation to date:
‘British Camelids, as agreed by all parties to be Administrator of Mrs Midworth’s estate, were duty-bound to obtain a legal determination of the meaning of the words in her Will, which were not clear-cut. The Court has now made its determination which we are reviewing.
Mrs Midworth was a staunch supporter of British Camelids while she was alive. The charity is extremely grateful to have been thought of in her Will. As a volunteer run organisation any donation to British Camelids is very significant given its size and resources in comparison to the other beneficiary charities.’
