Former miners' union leader Arthur Scargill
Former miners' union leader Arthur Scargill departs the High Court in London, Britain, 21 December 2012. Former miners' leader Arthur Scargill has lost his High Court fight to have the National Union of Mineworkers continue to meet the costs of his London flat for his lifetime. The NUM had called on Mr Justice Underhill to declare that it has no such continuing obligation to 74-year-old Mr Scargill, its president for 20 years until July 2002. The union also successfully disputed Mr Scargill's fuel allowance at his Barnsley home and payment for the preparation of his annual tax return - but not the cost of his security system in Yorkshire. Mr Scargill has occupied the Barbican apartment - rented from the Corporation of London - since June 1982.
