Memorandum of Agreement between The Faculty of Advocates and The Trustees of the National Library of Scotland on the Ownership of Items 1. This Memorandum of Agreement is made between the Faculty of Advocates (‘the Faculty’) and the Trustees of the National Library of Scotland (‘NLS’). It supplements the terms of the following: (a) the National Library of Scotland Act 1925 (‘the 1925 Act’); (b) the Agreement entitled Allocation of Books and Manuscripts between the National Library and the Advocates’ Library 1931 (‘the 1931 Agreement’), with the 1831 Catalogue of Law Books, the 1839 supplement to the 1831 Catalogue of Law Books and any other catalogues which the 1931 Agreement refers to; and (c) the Legal Deposit Libraries Act 2003 (‘the 2003 Act’). 2. (a) This Memorandum seeks to clarify the ownership of items currently known to be in the possession of NLS upon which the Faculty has a claim of ownership. It covers law books and legal publications, Faculty Records, and manuscripts. (b) This Memorandum seeks to establish the basis for action should any future claims of ownership arise on either side. (c) This Memorandum also makes provision for a deposit agreement to be drawn up for all items owned by the Faculty but in the possession of NLS. Current holdings 3. NLS acknowledges that the following items at present in its possession are the property of the Faculty: (a) copies of editions described in the 1831 Catalogue of Law Books and the 1839 supplement (Appendix A), where there is no reasonable doubt that these are the copies that were in the Advocates Library at the time of writing of the catalogue entry; (b) those items listed in the Volume II (Law) of the General Catalogue of Manuscripts (FR185)(Appendix B); Page 1 of 100 (c) those items (other than library catalogues) listed in Volume XIII (Faculty and Library Records) of the General Catalogue of Manuscripts (FR195a)(listed in Appendix D); (d) Volumes II and XIII of the General Catalogue of Manuscripts; and (e) those manuscripts, printed books and Faculty Records accessioned by the Advocates Library after 26 October 1925 and listed in Appendices C and D respectively. Future claims 4. In the event that any items are subsequently identified, which are in one party’s possession but are claimed by the other, NLS and the Faculty undertake to hold constructive discussions to resolve the issue. Such discussions shall be between the Keeper of the Advocates Library and the National Librarian and Chief Executive of the National Library of Scotland, or their representatives. 5. If parties fail to settle any such dispute, they agree to submit to arbitration in terms of the Scottish Arbitration Code 2010 or its successor. The arbitrator shall be mutually agreed, failing which, shall be appointed by the Scottish Branch of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. Deposit agreement 6. NLS and the Faculty will draw up a deposit agreement for all items owned by the Faculty but in the possession of NLS. NLS will make mutually satisfactory arrangements for the day-to-day management of the deposits. 7. The deposit agreement will also make provision (a) for adding items which are identified as owned by the Faculty but which are in the possession of NLS; and (b) for dealing with items which the Faculty deposits with NLS, subsequent to the making of this agreement. 22 December 2011 Signed Richard S Keen QC, Dean of Faculty, on behalf of the Faculty of Advocates Signed Martyn Wade, National Librarian and Chief Executive of the National Library of Scotland, on behalf of the Trustees of the National Library of Scotland Page 2 of 100 Appendix A – List of Faculty owned law books in possession of NLS This is a list of law books owned by the Faculty and in the possession of NLS at the time of signing. It was compiled after a check by Faculty staff of the 1831-9 Catalogue of Law Books in the Advocates Library and of a list compiled in 1966 by Harry Brashaw, Librarian of the Advocates Library at that time, of books he believed were owned by the Faculty and in the possession of NLS. It is not fully understood why these law books are in the possession of NLS as decisions do not seem to have been recorded. Staff at the Faculty and NLS have checked locations in order to be as sure as possible that the books listed as in the possession of NLS are the copies owned by the Faculty.
