Parker v British Airways Board [1982] 1 QB 1004 is an English property law case ordered by the Court of Appeal.

A passenger named Parker discovered a gold bracelet on the floor of an executive lounge at Heathrow airport.

The judgment of Lord Donaldson begins the facts in a rather poetic manner: On 15 November 1978, the plaintiff, Alan George Parker, had a date with fate - and perhaps with legal immortality.

[1] The court upheld Mr Parker's claim, as the bracelet was noticed in an area frequented by the public that British Airways Board did not exercise sufficient jurisdiction upon.

The defendants could not assert any title to the bracelet based upon the rights of an occupier over chattels attached to a building.
