Sir/Madam,

I am seeking information regarding historical court proceedings relating to
Great House Farm (Ty Mawr), Llandough, Vale of Glamorgan.

In particular, I am seeking records relating to proceedings commenced by BP
Pension Trust Limited in or around 1974 concerning occupation, possession,
ownership, or adverse possession of Great House Farm.

I would be grateful if you could advise:

   1.

   Whether any file survives relating to proceedings issued by BP Pension
   Trust Limited against members of the Williams/Buckler family concerning
   Great House Farm, Llandough.
   2.

   The case number, if known.
   3.

   Whether copies survive of:
   - Claim forms or writs.
      - Defences.
      - Witness statements.
      - Affidavits.
      - Exhibits.
      - Court orders.
      - Judgments.
      - Plans or maps lodged with the court.
   4.

   Whether the records have been transferred to an archive and, if so, the
   archive reference number and location.
   5.

   Whether copies can be inspected or obtained and the applicable procedure.

The proceedings are referred to in the Court of Appeal decision in BP
Properties Ltd v Buckler (1987), which notes that proceedings had
previously been commenced in 1974 and had not been finally determined.

Ultimately/ and do you hold any surviving pleadings, orders, cause books,
index cards, diary sheets, listing records, or archived bundles relating to
proceedings commenced by BP Pension Trust Limited concerning Great House
Farm, Llandough, during the period 1974–1987?

Any assistance in locating the surviving records would be greatly
appreciated.


Yours faithfully,



Sion Buckler (Ret'd Sergeant)

Heir/ Successor to Williams/ Buckler Family Estate, Great House Farm,
