No public statements found yet; the record below involves them.
We explain that CPS cannot accept or consider information sent directly by the public, that we have no knowledge of the referenced case, and we direct you to report any concerns to the police instead.
“cannot accept or consider information, evidence or other material sent directly to us by members of the public”
I accept the CPS's position that evidence is for the police, but ask under FOIA whether the CPS holds or once held any file on the 1988 Great House Farm summons withdrawn in 1989, plus retention records and search details, and treat part of this as a subject access request.
“Request under section 1 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000”

I acknowledge the CPS update of 8 October confirming my 30 September letter was passed to a manager, and ask to be kept informed of any further progress.
“Please keep me informed of any further progress or if additional information is required.”

We apologise for the delay in acknowledging your 30 September email, confirm it has been passed to a CPS manager for advice, and say we will reply once that advice is received.
“Your email has been passed to a CPS manager for her advice, and we will return to you when we receive that advice”
I send further material and reference numbers, including a South Wales Police crime-recording request and HM Land Registry references for title WA231076 and WA240304, and ask the CPS to identify any existing record and pass the material to the responsible team.
“I ask that the South Wales Police crime-recording request and the HM Land Registry report of suspected registration irregularities be treated as the principal current investigative references”

We tell you we cannot locate a case file from the details given and ask you to obtain the CPS Unique Reference Number from the officer in the case, with information needed by 13 October 2026.
“Could you please contact the officer in the case to request the CPS reference number, if it has been issued”
The requester chases the 3 September submission, asks for confirmation of receipt, a reference number, and whether the CPS will consider the material.

We reply that we cannot comment on hypothetical circumstances, that any suspected offence should be reported to the police for investigation, and that we cannot say in advance whether we would take over a future private prosecution.
“we are not in a position to say whether the CPS would or would not take over any future private prosecution”
We confirm receipt of your enquiry to the CPS Cymru Victim Liaison Unit and say we aim to acknowledge it within three working days, contacting you again if more information is needed.
I set out evidence for the family concerning the loss of Great House Farm, Llandough, covering the 1955 and 1974 proceedings, the 1982 registration of title WA231076, and the 1987 Court of Appeal case, and ask the CPS to consider exercising the section 6(2) power to take over any future private prosecution.
