Family Reparations & Remedy Roadmap
Current documentary position — 25 September 2026
| Subject | Record | Current position |
|---|---|---|
| Parcel A / Parcel B | The Two Parcels · 1877 Agreement · 1938–39 records | Mary (Nancy) Williams’s c.1974 witness statement (Mary (Nancy) Williams testimony) records the 1877 Bute sale to Daniel Thomas that separated the house parcel from the eastern fields, and the 1939 plan shows Parcel B only [EV-0023]. The case drawn from that evidence is that only the fields passed to WGR and BP. No court has ever examined this. The 1938 conveyance and 1939 tenancy plans are being scanned for the Wiki. |
| 1982–83 first registration | WA231076 / WA240304 · 30 July 2026 HMLR document schedule | The 30 July schedule lists 43 documents. The 31 December 1969 root conveyance and a free-standing 1971 abstract are not listed. |
| HMLR complaint | 25 May 2026 stage-2 decision | Mr Gill stated that the title was “registered correctly” and no rectification or indemnity was available on the complaint. The decision relied on the 1987 judgment rather than the 1983 registration file. It has been referred to the Independent Complaints Reviewer. |
| HMLR file inspection / preservation | Records Access Chronology | Physical inspection was requested 2–3 June 2026 and repeated in September. As at 25 September the substantive inspection response and formal non-destruction confirmation remained outstanding. |
| BP v Buckler | [1987] EWCA Civ 2 · TNA record identified 23 September 2026 | TNA identified YHL/PO/JO/10/11/2536, Judicial Papers A–C 1–63; item 19 concerns B.P. Properties Limited v Buckler. |
| Heritage / archaeology | Archaeology and Heritage · 1988 demolition | The 1974 measured survey, 1988 listing material, 1990 assessment and 1994 excavation are recorded in separate evidence entries. |
| Records access | Records Access Chronology · Missing Records Register | Outstanding records are identified by repository, reference and requested document. |

Routes, deadlines and next steps (6 October 2026). The Legal Review — Fraud, Land and Human Rights sets out each remedy route: setting aside the 1987 judgment for fraud, rectification and indemnity under the Land Registration Act 2002, the return of stolen papers and contents (Limitation Act 1980, s.4), and the complaints now under investigation. Its section 2 deals with the 15 May 1924 HM Land Registry record and Mary (Nancy) Williams’s 1928 account. See also Where Things Stand.
Fresh remedy architecture — 6 October 2026

Reframing: the case is now divided into separate questions: title, registration, judgment, limitation, woodland recovery and public-authority accountability. No single limitation argument is being asked to do all the work.
- Limitation Act 1980 s.32: qualifying fraud, deliberate concealment or mistake can postpone limitation until discovery or when it could reasonably have been discovered.
- Takhar: a fraud-based challenge requires evidence that fraud affected the obtaining of the judgment; earlier document loss alone is insufficient.
- CPR 52.30: reopening a final appeal requires real injustice, exceptional circumstances and no alternative effective remedy.
- CPR 31.16: pre-action disclosure may be available where its conditions are met.
- Registered land: LRA 2002 s.96 disapplies ordinary Limitation Act s.15 recovery-of-land limitation against registered estates and Schedule 6 governs adverse possession.

Woodland: where primary evidence proves a precise woodland polygon was already family land, the requested remedy can be framed as declaration/rectification/recovery rather than purchase, subject to the 1994 transfer, consideration, notice and purchaser-protection analysis.
