Portée et contenu
Papers relating to changes in the ZSL Charter and Bylaws. The majority of these papers are on the controversy caused by the intention to open London Zoo to the public on Sunday mornings, formerly the preserve of ZSL Fellows. A group of Fellows formed the 'FZS Committee', under the Chairmanship of Mr RJ Knowles, to fight ZSL Council. The changes in the Bylaws were voted on and approved by the Fellowship, but this was then challenged by Knowles who took ZSL to the High Court and won. Knowles finally lost at the Court of Appeal. Three years later ZSL was granted a new Charter and Bylaws.
