Treasury Solicitor: Registered Files, Admiralty (A Yearly Series)
Date
1954-1975
Description

Selected records from a single series of registered files of the Treasury Solicitor relating to work on behalf of the Admiralty.

The files illustrate the legal aspects of work undertaken including salvage claims, accident inquests, claims for damages arising from collisions, or actions by the Admiralty, contracts (such as the sale of Admiralty owned premises), consideration of awards under the Royal Commission on Awards to Inventors, agreements between the Admiralty (acting on behalf of Her Majesty's Government) and foreign and domestic companies, questions arising from staffing matters, appeals against decisions of court martial, use of land and sea beds for defence purposes, and infringements of fishing regulations.

Arrangement
Arrangement

The files are arranged in the order of their former references. The files were originally registered in a consecutive numerical sequence which was renewed annually. Thus each former file reference has the series prefix, 'A', followed by two digits representing the year in which the file was registered, and then the file's own unique number: e.g. A/59/347.
