- Bafta trustees accepted free tickets for guests at the organisation’s awards ceremonies, according to the membership council chair, who said the practice may have breached charity and company law.
- Bafta membership council chair obtained legal advice at their own expense, with that advice suggesting that offences could have been committed.
Why it matters: For Bafta and its trustees, the chair’s personal expense in obtaining legal advice makes the guest-ticket practice a governance issue spanning two legal areas: charity and company law. The material concern is alleged noncompliance by trustees over complimentary awards invitations, not merely who received free places.
