Interpretation: working hypotheses
Working hypotheses, kept apart from the record above. The record text on this page is unchanged. None of these is a finding: each line is labelled as inference, theory, a reading that cuts against the case, or a discarded theory, and names the evidence it rests on and what would confirm or refute it, so the reader can test it. Updated 25 Oct 2026 (v2: ingredients wording).
Title chain and registration
THEORY · R-02Ground R3: the farmhouse was registered separately (WA240304, Form 1C by Linklaters & Paines, edition 23 Feb 1983) while BP's own 1974 action "has never been finally heard"; the court was told the whole farm had been registered in November 1982. Working hypothesis: the farmhouse application, made with eight-plus years of admitted adverse possession behind her, is the point where the occupation and the unresolved action would have had to be declared.
Rests on: EV-0063 · EV-0065 · EV-0066 · EV-0080 · EV-0078 · ground R3; research log E91, E98
Would be confirmed by: A Form 1C (Co.) statutory declaration silent about her occupation or claim (subject access request item 11).
Would be refuted by: A declaration that disclosed both. Cuts against: the court's words match the register as merged on 2 Feb 1987, and paper title was never in issue.
Status: Open (ground R3, scores a2 b1 c3 d2)
INFERENCE · R-03The 2 Feb 1987 amalgamation of WA240304 into WA231076 sets a dilemma on the 1983 class of title: either absolute in Feb 1983 (a London Gazette advertisement was required by the rules as printed, and none has been found), or possessory and later converted. Working hypothesis: the class of title in 1983 is a test of how the application was handled. Not yet confirmed for 1987 practice.
Rests on: EV-0078 · EV-0066 · EV-0231 · research log E114, E116, E118, E120, E125
Would be confirmed by: Subject access request item 10 (the 1983 register edition) showing the class of title.
Would be refuted by: Evidence that the Registry had stopped Gazette advertisement for all land after about May 1975 (the absence found is practice-wide, E116).
Status: Open; turns on item 10 (due 28 Oct 2026)
