This is the Bitcoin-on-a-hard-drive-in-rubbish-dump case report
https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Ch/2025/22.html
Highly impressive and convincing reasoning by the judge on each point, especially the complex trusts arguments.
In particular: Judge absolutely correct that ownership of the Hard Drive transferred to council when delivered to the dump.
Rightly struck out.
But the black bin bag situation comedy in paragraph 15 had me howling.
