Sir/Madam,

I wrote to you on 10 June 2026 requesting access to historical court
records relating to Great House Farm (Ty Mawr), Llandough, Vale of
Glamorgan. I have not received a response.

I am seeking confirmation of whether any surviving court records exist
relating to possession, title, and related proceedings involving the
Williams / Buckler family and the successive parties asserting title
through Western Ground Rents Ltd and subsequently BP Pension Trust Ltd / BP
Properties Ltd.

The proceedings and related matters I am seeking to identify include:

   -

   High Court possession proceedings and the possession order of 1955,
   including any related enforcement records (including the enforcement action
   concerning the agricultural land on or around 4 July 1955);
   -

   Cardiff County Court proceedings of 1962, resulting in the possession
   order dated 11 December 1962 (before Judge Temple Morris QC), including any
   related claim for mesne profits;
   -

   Cardiff County Court proceedings commenced in 1974, including the
   part-heard hearing of 3 July 1974 at which Mary Williams asserted ownership
   and relied upon adverse possession / limitation arguments, the application
   for leave to enforce in September 1974, and subsequent correspondence
   concerning the proposed unilateral licence arrangement in October and
   November 1974;
   -

   The subsequent Court of Appeal proceedings in BP Properties Ltd v
   Buckler [1987] 55 P & CR 337.

I request confirmation of whether any surviving records remain, including
(but not limited to):

   - pleadings;
   - statements of case;
   - orders;
   - warrants;
   - correspondence;
   - exhibits;
   - judgments;
   - case files;
   - registers or indexes referring to these proceedings or the property.

If records remain, please advise the procedure for obtaining copies or
arranging inspection, including any applicable fees.

If no records remain, please confirm what searches have been undertaken,
which repositories or record systems have been checked, and whether any
destruction, retention, or transfer records exist relating to these
proceedings.

Yours faithfully,


Sion Hywel Buckler (Ret'd Sergeant)
