BH68-11 · Proposed · not yet sent
Mr Mayo: which agreement supports your BH68 position?
Which agreement or other instrument do you rely on for rights concerning BH68? Identify its date, parties, plan, apparatus and the land to which it applies. If you rely on an older agreement rather than one in your name, identify the record establishing its continued application to your land. Explain how that position relates to Miss E’s signed June 2024 agreement. If the family has misstated your position, provide the precise correction and supporting document. Did your 9 April 2024 email contain the words “The pole numbers are BH67 and BH68” as shown in the disputed copy? Provide your sent message, its attachments and the reply you received, and identify the agreement or other instrument relating to each pole.
Question directed to: Mark John Mayo · response may be provided through his representative
A claim about particular land and apparatus should identify the instrument and reasoning that support it. Naming the agreement and its scope lets readers compare competing accounts against documents rather than implications.
The recorded response The supplied record includes correspondence about the plan and the position attributed to Mr Mayo. Shackson asserts that existing wayleaves transferred. This proposed question asks Mr Mayo to identify his precise position and the instrument supporting it; it is not described as a question already ignored by him.
Dates, delivery and the point still outstanding

BH68-A01 · Attributed allegation
The plan and the claimed rights
Miss E and Mr J · allegation recorded in the reporting
Miss E and Mr J allege that the April 2025 plan was used to create a false impression that Mr Mayo held wayleave rights concerning BH68, and to mislead the court. They direct the allegation to Mr Mayo and, over the supply and description of the plan, to Nick Shackson and National Grid Electricity Distribution (South West) plc.
- The supporting record
- The linked sources include Miss E’s signed agreement, the April plan and Mr Shackson’s replies. The April email uses “on your title”; the February reply describes a general area, “not any particular title”. The plan already carries an accuracy disclaimer. The question is what records justified the title wording and the claimed BH68 rights.
- The recorded response
- Mr Shackson confirmed sending the plan, described it as a general-area map and asserted that existing wayleaves transferred to Mr Mayo. The questions ask which instrument, apparatus and land support that position.
- The answer still sought
- Identify the agreement. Identify the land and apparatus. Explain what the plan was intended to establish.
- Why it matters
- A claim about a particular pole and property must be traceable to the records that actually support it.
- Was it put to this party?
- The related questions to Mr Shackson and the 6 May 2026 letter before action are recorded. The proposed question about court use has not been sent by this publication; delivery to every party linked here is not established.
Documented involvement
The copied April email is addressed to Mark; Nick Shackson’s later reply confirms sending it to Mr Mayo. The family’s formal letter uses the fuller name Mark John Mayo. The reported claim reference L00BP152 was supplied by the case contributor; it has not been checked here against a sealed court document.
