Summons & Liability Orders

 

The Councils are committing fraud by issuing their own Court Summons and Liability Orders the councils even hire the courts and use their own judges [huge conflict of interest]. However, The Local Government Act 1888 section 78 (2) is quite clear that this is unlawful as it states:

 

Construction of Acts referring to business transferred.

​

(2)Provided that the transfer of powers and duties enacted by this Act shall not authorise any county council or any committee or member thereof—

(a)to exercise any of the powers of a court of record; or

(b)to administer an oath; or

(c)to exercise any jurisdiction under the Summary Jurisdiction Acts, or perform any judicial business, or otherwise act as justices or a justice of the peace,

 

Bailiffs/Enforcement agents are relying on Liability orders that NO longer exist as per The Council Tax Handbook Chapter 10; the form (Form A) originally provided to draw up liability orders was removed from law from 10 July 2003 in Wales and 1 October 2003 in England and no form has been substituted in its place. Without any written record of its order or judgement being issued by the court, an order from a magistrate’s court may be invalid. You will also notice all paper work you receive will state 'You' owe money or 'You' are summons, its good to advise them that's not 'You' as “You” or "Your" means the company or other legal entity for which you are accepting this Agreement.
