Forensic Review Index — Courts, Archives & Public Authorities
Roadmap added — 10-10-2026: Use the Institutional Involvement Roadmap for the chronological cross-institution path and named actors; the underlying chronology is evidence-status-qualified and does not treat an institution’s appearance as proof of fault. Related 1988 letter lead: GHF-E152.
Forensic Review Index — Courts, Archives & Public Authorities
How to read the institutional reviews
Each actor is assessed separately. A page records: precise institutional/entity identity; actual role; documentary evidence; control/safeguard question; current finding; human action; and acceptance test. Cross-links do not merge liability.
Litigation-critical actors
- HM Land Registry — registration, 1984 activity, 1987 amalgamation, alteration and indemnity.
- Linklaters — HMLR/litigation documentary trail and preservation.
- Warwick Modern Records Centre — BP corporate archive evidence.
- Court of Appeal — what the 1987 decision actually decided versus what was assumed.
- High Court — 1955 possession order and its exact scope.
- Cardiff County Court — 1962 farmhouse/garden proceedings.
Priority public-authority evidence
- Glamorgan Archives — D696 WGR rental books/plan book, plus key 1938/1939 material.
- RCAHMW — 1974 survey and 1988 heritage-record availability.
- Vale of Glamorgan Council — current planning/heritage records and live scrutiny route.
- Welsh Government — current central heritage/records handling.
- South Wales Police — 1988 operational-record recovery.
- National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) — national search methodology, ACPO catalogue searches and retrieval responses (modern records-access involvement; no historical operational role established).
Control rule
No institutional page may conclude “fraud”, “unlawful”, “concealment” or personal liability without the project’s actor-specific evidential threshold. A negative search is recorded as a negative search, not as proof of destruction or non-existence.
Current execution gateway
The institutional review layer now feeds the Litigation Activation page. Each institutional page must produce either a human action, a substantive decision, or a formally justified parked status. The objective is movement into evidence recovery, pre-action disclosure, live administrative remedy and litigation—not indefinite research accumulation.
Institutional appearance timelines
Institution-specific reviews now carry linked source chronologies. Each event title opens the evidence/record page rather than restating its contents. Entries are discovery maps, not findings of responsibility. See NPCC, South Wales Police, Cadw and GGAT.
