Chapter 4 centres on the restitutive and injurious properties of documentary practices. Test veterans sought out state documents in order to locate evidence of radiation exposure and its evidentiary omission. I track three legal disputes originating in the UK before the Pension Appeals Tribunal, the British Information Commissioner, and the European Court of Human Rights in which test veterans sought to hold the state to account for failing to document injury and risk. Despite a lack of success in securing restitution, and a sense of compounding harm and injury endured across these claims, their claims nonetheless produced paper trails of the state’s moral failure and its lack of restitutive care. These legal disputes moreover brought to light the existence and contours of a secretive archive, clarified democratic avenues for accessing documents held within the state’s grip, and legally asserted the positive duties of the state to ensure the right of claimants to access health records.
