## **ANNUAL REPORT**
## FOR THE YEAR 2021
Since our last report, Dr Andrew Hershey’s two volume edition of _Special Eyre Rolls of Hugh Bigod 1258-1260_ , volumes 131 (for 2014) and 133 (for 2016), has been printed and was dispatched to members at the end of 2020. Volumes 136 and 137 (for 2019 and 2020), which are the first two volumes of Sir John Baker’s edition of _Reports from the Notebooks of Edward Coke_ , are being printed and will be dispatched to members in 2022. Three further volumes of this edition have been completed and are awaiting printing.
We were very saddened to hear of the death of Mr David Yale on 26 June 2021. He joined the Society in February 1955, shortly after the Council invited him (at Professor Plucknett’s suggestion) to prepare a volume for the Society based on his extensive researches into Lord Nottingham’s papers. He was elected to the Council of the Society in 1962, after the publication of his two-volume edition of _Lord Nottingham’s Chancery Cases_ (vols. 73 and 79). He subsequently edited a number of other significant volumes, including two volumes of _Hale’s Prerogatives of the King_ (vol. 92) and (with Mr Prichard) _Hale and Fleetwood on Admiralty Jurisdiction_ (vol. 108). He acted as Assistant Literary Director from 1963 to 1968, Literary Adviser from 1969 to 1975, and was one of the Literary Directors of the Society from 1976 to 1991. He was also President of the Society from 1994 to 1997. Since 1999, the David Yale Prize (and now prizes) have been offered in his honour, generously funded by his family.
We were also saddened to learn of the death of Professor William Cornish on 8 January 2022. Having joined the Society in 1969, he was elected to the Council in 1986. Professor Cornish gave the annual lecture in 2012 on the topic of _Life Stories and Legal Histories_ .
2021 also saw the second Selden Society and the Inns of Court Annual Lecture. On 19 October, Sir John Baker spoke on the subject of ‘John Selden and Legal History: “Liberty above all Things”’, in a conversation with His Honour Donald Cryan in the Temple Church. The event, which was one of the first in-person meetings after the COVID-19 lockdowns, was also simultaneously streamed online, and attracted a large international audience. A recording of this event can be accessed via our website, as well as through the Inner Temple’s website. The Society is grateful to the convenors of the history societies at each of the Inns for their work in maintaining this series.

(b) Vacancies in the fifteen elected members:

(c) Members not domiciled in the United Kingdom:

(d) Representative of Lincoln’s Inn: Mr Ainger
**Publications:** Since the last report, Dr Andrew Hershey’s edition of the _Special Eyre Rolls of Hugh Bigod 1258-1260_ , comprising volume 131 for 2014 and volume 133 for 2016, have been issued to members; volumes 132 for 2015 (Sir John Baker’s _Selected Readings and Commentaries on Magna Carta, 1400-1604_ ), and 134-135 for 2017-18 (Professor Lobban’s edition of _Jeffrey Gilbert on Property and Contract_ ) having already been issued.
The next annual volumes to be issued will be Sir John Baker’s five-volume edition of _Reports from the Notebooks of Edward Coke_ , commencing in 1572 with notes taken in the period before Coke’s call to the bar in 1578, and covering the period to 1600, six years after his appointment as attorney-general. The first two volumes, 136 for 2019 and 137 for 2020, covering the period 1572-88, are now in print and will be issued to members in mid 2022. The following three volumes, volumes 138 for 2021 to 140 for 2023 have been typeset and will be printed later in 2022 for distribution to members in late 2022 or early 2023.
While the order of their appearance remains to be determined, three volumes currently in preparation are intended to be issued as volumes 141 for 2024 to 143 for 2026, as follows:
• Professor Gallanis’s edition of the judicial notes of Sir Dudley Ryder, chief justice of the King’s Bench from 1754 to 1756. As chief justice Ryder presided over more than 290 trials, both criminal and civil. In contrast to other judges of the period, Ryder took trial notes in shorthand, giving his notes particular interest as containing a level of detail not found other sets of eighteenth-century judicial notes.
• Mr Le Poidevin’s edition of the fifteenth-century reports taken by the Wiltshire apprentice John Bryt, which are the earliest reports in the year book tradition which can be attributed to an identified reporter.
2
• Dr Williams’ edition of circulating reports cases in the Court of Star Chamber 162528, which will provide an insight into the Star Chamber material available to lawyers (and others) in the time of Charles I.
In the Supplementary Series, work continues on an edition by Mr David Hoffman of the records of the Northern Circuit of the Bar, 1763-1802, which will include a biographical register of all those mentioned as members of the Circuit or as attending mess.
**Finance:** The accounts are printed as usual at the end of this report. The Finance Committee met in January 2022, and continues to monitor the performance of the Society’s investments.

The Selden Society is an unincorporated association constituted as a trust. The internal organisation of the Society is subject to a set of Rules, a copy of which is sent to every member. The Society is a registered charity (Registration Number 211536).
## **Objectives and activities**
The purposes of the Society are to encourage the study and to advance the knowledge of the history of English law, especially by the publication of original documents, the reprinting or editing of works of rarity or importance, and the compiling of information as a tool for further research.
## **Achievements and Performance**
During the year 2021, the Society continued its work of editing legal manuscripts for publication and hosted a number of meetings in the United Kingdom and overseas to promote the study of English legal history. It also supported scholarship by the provision of a PhD studentship.
## **Structure, governance and management**

The officers of the Society are the Treasurer, Literary Director and Secretary, who are ex officio members of the Council.

## **Investment**
The Council have unrestricted discretion in all matters concerning the investment of the Society’s monies. Their policy is to maintain a reasonable balance between capital and income.

The policy of the Council is to maintain substantial reserves to meet the cost of production, storage and dispatch of volumes, administration costs and new initiatives. The Council is currently assessing the possible impact of COVID 19 on the Society’s financial outlook. The situation is evolving rapidly and it is not possible at this stage to determine with any certainty its likely impact on the Society and its objectives in the longer term. However, the Council is confident that its assets are sufficient to meet our likely expenses in the short- to medium term. The reserves at the year end were £2,262,082 (2020: £2,014,787) including designated funds of £5,190 (2020: £5,190).

**Report of the trustees for the year ended 31 December 2021** _**(continued)**_
## **Selden Society**
## **Risks**
The Council have reviewed the risks applicable to the Society and consider that they are adequately provided for. The main consideration was the volatility of the stock market and its implication on both the value of the investment portfolio and the level of income arising therefrom as the Trust relies on both to produce sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due. Our investment fund’s value has withstood the challenges presented by the pandemic and the necessary public health responses well.
## **Current Activities**
In the year under report the Society maintained its programme of preparing editions of unpublished manuscripts for publication. It intends to continue in the present year with the publication of volumes for the annual series, and with the preparation of occasional publications such as its Supplementary Series and lectures, and with its other customary activities.
## **Appointment of Trustees**
All Council members are Trustees and are elected or appointed in accordance with the constitution of the Society.
## **Public Benefit**
The Trustees have given due consideration to the Charity Commission’s published guidance of the operation of the Public Benefit requirement and are satisfied that the activities of the charity undertaken during the year meet the Public Benefit test.
## **Trustees**

## **Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Selden Society**
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SELDEN SOCIETY**
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Society for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 11 to 17.
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Regulation 31 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity's trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the statement I have made.
## **Responsibilities and basis for report**
As the Charity Trustees of the Society you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the ACT”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Society’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5) (b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements concerning the form and content of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**Notes forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021**
## **1 Accounting policies**
## _(a) Basis of preparation_
Selden Society is a registered charity (Charity Number: 211536) and is an unincorporated association constituted as a trust, incorporated in England and Wales and domiciled in England. The registered office is Queen Mary University of London, 327 Mile End Road, London E1 4NS.
The presentational and functional currency of these financial statements is GBP. Values are rounded to the nearest pound.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a “true and fair” view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent to provide a “true and fair” view. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
## _Going Concern_
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and are on a going concern basis. The Trustees confirm that at the time of approving the financial statements in May 2022 that whilst there is uncertainty, there are no material uncertainties regarding the charity’s ability to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
As a grant making charity with few overheads and ongoing commitments, and having taken into consideration the impact of COVID 19 on its anticipated future financial performance, the trustees consider that they can sustain a comparable level of activity for at least the next 12 months from the approval of the financial statements. On the date of approval of the financial statements the Society has sufficient liquid cash funds available and further substantial investment funds. For these reasons the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements
## _Income_
UK and overseas subscription income is recognised when receivable and applied over the relevant period. Subscriptions from overseas members are stated net of exchange gains and losses.
US subscriptions are recognised when receivable in the US. Subscriptions received in the United States of America are shown as subscription debtors until the money is transferred to the UK, until then these are held in separate US bank accounts.
Royalties are recognised on a received basis
.
11
**Notes forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021** _**(continued)**_
Voluntary donations are accounted for when received.
## _Investment income_
Dividends from listed investments are accounted for when receivable. Interest on deposits is taken into account on an accruals basis. All investment income is stated inclusive of related taxation recoverable.
## _Foreign currencies_
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.
## _Expenditure_
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to a particular heading, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.
The cost of publications is recognised in the year to which the publication relates. No value has been placed in the financial statements on publications stock.
Governance costs are those incurred in connection with Governance of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
## _Investments_
Investments are stated at ‘bid’ prices at the balance sheet date. Any gains or losses on revaluation are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.
## _Funds of the Charity_
The charity’s funds are segregated between:
(a) _Designated funds_ - represent monies, which have been designated for a specific purpose by the Council.
(b) _General fund_ - represents undesignated monies retained, which provide the working capital to enable the Council to carry out its charitable activities.
The Council regularly reviews the level of Income Funds and the strategic needs of the Society. The publications produced by the Society require income to be generated by its investments at a level sufficient to supplement subscription income to produce the income required to finance the publications. As such, the level of reserves is monitored regularly by the council and maintained at a level appropriate to meet the on-going objectives of the Society.
## _Debtors_
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
12
**Notes forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021** _**(continued)**_
## _Cash and cash equivalents_
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
## _Creditors_
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## _Judgements_
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
There were no judgment or material estimation uncertainties affecting the reported financial performance in the current or prior year.
