The society is currently investigating an issue that has reached the point of requiring a legal response to the problem. Without going into detail, we are looking into the sale of a very expensive artefact belonging to the society, without our permission or consent. The artefact dates back to the 18th century and apart from being the property of the Old Derbeians, it has a tremendous significance to the city of Derby.
Having all but exhausted dialogue and negotiations with the body who have sold the item, we now require a solicitor to represent us in the fight to see the artefact returned to its rightful owner.
To this end, we are calling on our members who may be able to help us with taking the case up on our behalf on a pro bono basis. If you or you know of anyone in the society who can help in what is a sensitive matter, we would welcome contact with us.
If you can help, please contact the Chair of the society by email at chair@oldderbeians.co.uk to discuss the way forward. Thank you for your support in this matter.
