Abstract

The legal basis by which the learned societies occupy Burlington House was the subject of a hearing before the High Court in 2004. No verdict was given because terms of occupation were eventually agreed by all parties in 2005. This paper contains transcriptions, with background notes, of some of the more important and previously unpublished documents presented in evidence on behalf of the societies as part of their case.
