Good afternoon,

Thank you for your email.

Due to the age of this case, we wouldn’t currently hold any existing records for it, in line with our procedures. I can confirm we have conducted a search on our internal case management system, which has not produced any results. We are not privy to any other systems upon which we could conduct a search on the details you provide.

It might be worth contacting Land Registry to see if they hold any details on this:

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)
