Abstract
This paper contributes to the study of the equational theory of the priority operator of Baeten, Bergstra and Klop in the setting of the process algebra BCCSP. It is shown that, in the presence of at least two actions, the collection of process equations over BCCSP with the priority operator that are valid modulo bisimilarity, irrespective of the chosen priority order over actions, is not finitely based. This holds true even if one restricts oneself to the collection of valid process equations that do not contain occurrences of process variables.
