Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Decided November 15, 1983PublishedCited by 18 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtWilkins, J.
We are concerned with the question whether certain shareholders of the defendant, The Brockton Agricultural Society (corporation), were improperly denied the right to intervene in this action. The Attorney General seeks an order that the corporation file annual written reports and audited financial statements pursuant to G. L. c. 12, § 8F. The basic or underlying dispute is whether the corporation is a public charity subject to the filing provisions of § 8F. The Attorney General claims that the defendant is a public charity. The corporation claims that it is not.
