I had a liability order granted against me for council tax. I have applied to the magistrates court in question for the order to be set-aside. I feel i have met the criteria for the court to consider the matter, namely I have an arguable dispute as to the liability of the rate, a procedural error was made and I acted promptly. Also I would have attended court to state this in person but I did not receive a summons. I had lodged an appeal and the liability order was granted before the appeal has been considered (or even looked at).
My appeal to set aside was received by the court three weeks ago and I haven't heard anything since, does anyone know how long they take to consider?
In the meantime the local authority have instructed bailiffs, are they legally entitled to enforce the order ifI have applied for it to be set aside?
