Mismanagement claims against Kids Company founder thrown out

Camila Batmanghelidjh exonerated of allegations she was responsible for charity collapse

The founder and former chief executive of Kids Company, Camila Batmanghelidjh, has been exonerated by a court of allegations that the charity she created collapsed because she had failed to operate it on a proper and financially sustainable basis.

After a three-and-a-half-year legal case, the court threw out claims by the official receiver that Batmanghelidjh and seven former trustees of the charity had failed to properly manage the charity in the tumultuous final months of its existence.
