Chronology and catalogue links — assessed 10-10-2026: Use the Institutional Involvement Roadmap (1877–2026) for the date-ordered institution/people/evidence sequence. The reported 1988 Cadw-to-Minister spot-listing letter has its own catalogue placeholder at GHF-E152; the original has not been attached to that page as at 10-10-2026. A placeholder records an evidence gap; it does not establish the letter’s contents or misconduct.

Forensic Assessment — Ministry of Justice#

Scope: MoJ as present policy/records oversight, not as the historic court deciding the Great House Farm dispute.

Role#

The MoJ may be relevant to historic judicial-record policy, retention architecture and any current administrative channel concerning justice-system records. It is not treated as having decided the 1955, 1962, 1974 or 1987 merits.

Forensic control test#

Separate policy responsibility from individual court administration. If a historic file cannot be recovered, identify the actual custodian and retention rule rather than attributing its absence to MoJ.

Current finding#

As at 10-10-2026, the material reviewed does not establish wrongdoing by the Ministry of Justice. This is not a finding that no MoJ-related records or functions are relevant.

Human action#

Use MoJ only where HMCTS identifies a policy/retention issue requiring departmental escalation. Preserve relevant retention schedules and formal responses.

Acceptance: any MoJ role is tied to a named policy/function and concrete record.

Institutional appearance timeline — linked source index#

Coverage rule: this is a chronological navigation map of published Wiki source pages found by searching the current site index for “Ministry of Justice”. Every event label links directly to the page containing the source. It avoids duplicating source narratives. It records mention/appearance, not culpability. Dates are transcribed from page titles where available; “Date not explicit in title” means the linked source must be consulted. Search indexing is a discovery aid, not proof of exhaustive external coverage. 🕒10-10-2026
