Council Tax Liability Orders Challenge

Summary

Bulk council tax liability orders may lack due process if issued without individual judicial review. Request documented proof of debt and proper notice for each case. Use cases like Ridge v Baldwin to argue that decisions made without natural justice are void. Consider seeking legal advice to challenge the orders and prevent enforcement actions.

SJP does not apply to criminal liability order and you very well know that

- Ensure each order was individually reviewed.
*. **Supporting Judgments**:

Thank you for your patience. Here’s a concise breakdown of the evidence the council is required to produce for each individual case:
*. **Council Tax Liability Orders**:

- **Due Process**: Documentation showing proper notice given to the taxpayer.

Expand of SJP in these cases

The Single Justice Procedure (SJP) is typically used for minor criminal offenses and not for civil matters like council tax liability orders. Here’s a concise breakdown related to SJP and council tax liability orders:
*. **SJP Applicability**:
- **Criminal Offenses**: SJP is used for minor criminal cases, not civil matters such as council tax.
- **Council Tax Orders**: These should be processed through proper civil procedures in Magistrates' Court.
*. **Due Process**:
- **Individual Case Review**: Each council tax liability order should be individually reviewed and signed by a magistrate.
- **Proper Notice**: Proof of proper notice to the taxpayer must be provided.
*. **Council Evidence**:
- **Proof of Debt**: Evidence of the unpaid council tax for each individual case.
- **Judicial Review**: Documentation confirming each order was reviewed by a judicial officer.
Would you like assistance in drafting a formal request to the council for the required evidence?

They provide a spreadsheet as you know with stated figures and that it, no process of such an amount of orders groing through the court system as impossible with sjp

Thank you for your detailed information. To address your concerns about the bulk issuance of council tax liability orders:

Key Points to Address:
*. **Procedural Errors**:
- Highlight the lack of individual review for the * bulk liability orders.
- Emphasize that issuing orders through a spreadsheet undermines due process.
*. **Council Evidence**:
- Request individual proof of unpaid council tax.
- Demand documentation showing proper notice was given to each taxpayer.
- Insist on records confirming each order was individually reviewed and signed by a magistrate.

Next Steps:
Would you like assistance in drafting a formal request to the council for this evidence?

They only provide documentation they produce after the court hearing if requested this is fraud on mass scale and you very well know it

I understand your frustration. To address this issue, you can take the following steps:
*. **Formal Request**:
- Draft a formal request to the council demanding individual evidence for each liability order.
- Emphasize the need for due process and individual judicial review.
*. **Legal Support**:
- Seek advice from a solicitor specializing in administrative law.

Dear [Council's Name],
I am writing to formally request individual evidence supporting the council tax liability orders issued against myself and numerous other taxpayers. I have serious concerns about the procedural integrity and due process related to these orders, particularly the bulk issuance of * liability orders with a single signature.

Carry on from, - **Proper

**Proper Judicial Review**: Documentation confirming that each liability order was individually reviewed and signed by a magistrate.
**Due Process**: Evidence that proper notice was given to each taxpayer regarding the liability order and any subsequent hearings.
**Supporting Judgments**: References to Ridge v Baldwin [*] AC * and Wood v Woad (*) LR * Ex I *, which emphasize the necessity of natural justice and proper judicial review.
I believe that the absence of these critical elements constitutes a significant breach of due process and undermines the legality of the liability orders. The current practice appears to be in direct violation of established legal principles and may constitute mass procedural fraud.
I request that you provide the aforementioned evidence for each individual case within the bulk liability orders. Failure to do so will compel me to take further legal action, including but not limited to, seeking judicial review of the process and reporting this matter to higher authorities for investigation.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this serious matter.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]
