Proves: Not held, so nothing yet. Reported: later instruments recite a conveyance dated 31 December 1969 from WGR to the BP Pension Trust, with a plan, as the root of BP’s title.

Does not prove: Does not show whether it covered Parcel A, Parcel B, or both, nor what WGR sold; Its absence from the HMLR file is not evidence of concealment.

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).

The 1962 → 1974 → 1983 sequence

THEORY · I-01Working hypothesis on the sequence, set out as dated steps for the reader to test. 11 Dec 1962: possession order in Cardiff County Court (EV-0041); the 12-year period from that order ran to 11 Dec 1974. In the 1974 County Court action she pleaded that the claim was barred (EV-0049). 17–19 Sep 1974: BP Pension Trust sought and obtained leave to enforce the 1962 order (EV-0080). 31 Oct 1974: letters permitting her to stay rent-free for life (EV-0050); the Court of Appeal later held that from then on her possession was by licence and no longer adverse (EV-0080). 30 Nov 1982 and 23 Feb 1983: first-registration applications for the fields and for the farmhouse (EV-0059, EV-0065). The hypothesis is that these steps were connected, each taking occupation the family treated as ownership closer to a registered title. No document read so far shows them planned together; W-04 and the discarded entries below set out readings that cut against it.

Rests on: EV-0041 · EV-0049 · EV-0050 · EV-0080 · EV-0059 · EV-0065

Would be confirmed by: The 1974 County Court file and leave application (HMCTS reply due 2 Nov 2026) and the 1983 application papers (HM Land Registry subject access request, due 28 Oct 2026) showing the steps were planned as one course of action.

Would be refuted by: Records showing each step was a separate routine act with its own cause (for example, the 1982 internal BP conveyance arising from a group restructuring unrelated to the farm).

Status: Open

THEORY · I-03On 17–19 Sep 1974 BP Pension Trust obtained leave to enforce the 1962 order "as successors in title to Western Ground Rents", on two days' notice, while its own action against her was part-heard. The WGR → BP Pension Trust conveyance is not on either HM Land Registry first-registration file. Working hypothesis: succession to the 1962 order was asserted in court without the conveyance being produced.

Rests on: EV-0041 · EV-0043 (this page) · EV-0080 · EV-0161 · ground R4

Would be confirmed by: The 1974 leave application and its supporting affidavit showing what proof of succession was put to the court.

Would be refuted by: The 31 Dec 1969 conveyance, or a certified copy, on the 1974 court file or the 1982–83 registration files (HM Land Registry relied on recitals and a 1971 abstract, E21).

Status: Open (ground R4, scores a1 b3 c1 d1)
