Chronology and catalogue links — assessed 10-10-2026: See the Institutional Involvement Roadmap (1877–2026) for the date-ordered institution, people and evidence sequence. The reported 1988 Cadw-to-Minister spot-listing letter has its own placeholder at GHF-E152; the original has not been attached to that page as at 10-10-2026.

Forensic Institutional Review — Companies House

Scope: corporate registry function and surviving company-file evidence relevant to WGR, BP and later development entities.

Newly verified context

Hansard recorded in May 1980 that Western Ground Rents had been bought by the BP pension fund. The Companies House evidence must now be used to identify the exact historical entity, transaction/ownership dates, directors and continuity of the legal entities, rather than relying on corporate shorthand.

Forensic control test

Identify the precise company number/name at each relevant date for Western Ground Rents, BP Pension Trust/BP Properties and Ideal Homes. Determine what filings survive and who controlled the entities when the relevant conveyances, registration applications and litigation occurred.

Current finding

As at 10-10-2026, the material reviewed does not establish wrongdoing by Companies House. This is limited to the registry’s documentary role and does not rule out other actors’ involvement. The registry is evidence about corporate identity and filings, not an adjudicator of the underlying land dispute.

Human action

Obtain historic filings, name changes, annual returns/accounts, officer appointments and any surviving dissolved-company material. Reconcile these with the 1969 conveyance and 1982–87 registration/litigation chain.

Acceptance: a corporate-identity chronology exists for every company relied upon in the litigation theory.

Records-access register appearances — direct row links

Rows below match the institution’s name or an alias in the reply register’s sender/reference or recorded description. A match shows an appearance in the records trail, not necessarily an act by this institution.

No matching reply-register row was found for this name/alias set. That is not evidence that no correspondence exists; broaden the alias search when new records are added. ^🕒
