Commons Commissioners were appointed from 1971 under the Commons Registration Act 1965 to settle disputed entries in local authority registers of common land and town and village greens and to determine the ownership of unclaimed common land and greens. Decisions were issued from 1972 onwards. Most decisions of the Commons Commissioners are available to download from this section of the web site of the Association of Commons Registration Authorities (formerly the Commons and Greens Registration and Management Association). The Commons Commissioners were abolished on 1 December 2010.
