Show PAGE EIGHT PROVO (UTAH) EVENING HERALD, THURSDAY, JUNE 24, 1937 King's Abdication Legal Headache to British Merchants LONDON (U.R) A considerable volume of litigation arising out of the Coronation and the events that preceded it may come before the British courts soon. The cause of the disputes largely large-ly originates in contracts made in contemplation of the Duke of Windsor being crowned. Already a number of actions have been started in the High Court and the county courts. In the aggregate, many thousands thou-sands of pounds are involved and to save costs an attempt is being made insofar as certain points ire common to all the cases to have one action tried as a test case. There will be a "pool" among the parties, out of which the costs will be paid if the de-vision de-vision is adverse, to those participating. par-ticipating. It is probable that the issues will go to the Court of Appeal, and then to the House of Liords for final determination. Last year large orders were placed for an infinite variety of articles "for the Coronation," without any stipulation or mention men-tion of the King then reigning. Before the abdication a large part of the orders had been executed, but the whole of the goods had not been delivered. Mugs, bunting, ribbon and all sorts-of articles bearing the portrait por-trait of King Edward VIII were made useless by the abdication. Some were sold as souvenirs, but the vast proportion are still on hand. Manufacturers and dealers demand de-mand from the purchasers the agreed price of the goods. The cases raise some interesting legal points, which have not nitherto fc'oen argued before the courts. One question to be determined deter-mined is whether the words "for the Coronation." - necessarily contemplated con-templated the Coronation of King Edward VIII, an'd that if he were not crowned the contract was at an end, and the purchaser escaped liability. To what extent, if at all, the abdication affects other forms of contracts, so far as the liability of the parties to them is concerned, con-cerned, will form the subject of interesting arguments and learned learn-ed judgments. - Strikes Beset His Steel Mills 6 7.V.V.'.UHHKu.v,'.''.'.
