Question
He pledged a donation to charity through a standing order without setting a time limit. After how long can he cancel it?
Answer
Generally, a person's donation through a standing order is assumed to be for 12 months, and therefore, he can only cancel it after this period. Even if a year has passed and he himself extended the standing order, it is considered a new vow for another year, and he can cancel it only after a year has passed.
