Evidence-to-Court Matrix
Every material legal proposition must be traceable from the proposition to primary evidence and then to the proposed legal use.
| Proposition | Evidence ID / source | Primary or secondary | Counter-evidence | Materiality | Legal use | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ownership / title | Record IDs | Primary preferred | Strongest contrary record | High / medium / low | Title / defence / remedy | OPEN |
| Registration event | HMLR file | Primary | Register / plan / opposing case | High | Alteration / rectification / JR | OPEN |
| 1987 finding | Court papers | Primary | Contrary evidence | High | Review / argument | OPEN |
| Knowledge | Correspondence / dated records | Primary | Alternative custodian account | Variable | Disclosure / deceit / public-law | OPEN |
| Loss / remedy | Title, valuation and consequential records | Primary + expert | Alternative causation | High | Damages / restoration / correction | OPEN |
Evidence threshold: missing records remain “not found” until the Negative Search Log and alternative-custodian route have been exhausted; “missing” is not itself proof of concealment or destruction. 🕒
