Re: Can I sue the council through small claims - VICTORY!

I came across this thread when searching Google to find out about taking my local council to court.

When reading this it is obvious from the description of the way the council is behaving that it is exactly the same council. I won't name them as the original poster has blocked out their name from the record so I'll do the same.

The amount in my case is only £129.00 so not as bad as above, but there has been the same emotional discomfort caused by their deliberate attempts to force a liability order on us and I don't think they should be allowed to keep doing it.

I am going to at least refer to the possibility of court action as a means of persuasion and then make a decision later on whether or not to go ahead.

I'd really like to find the official record of this case on the official government website if such a record exists. I wonder if anybody can help me do that?

Obviously I'm not certain (and I'll keep it under my hat) but I am 99% sure I have deduced which local authority you are dealing with.

Good luck!

There is a clue in the original thread where London Borough of XXXXXXX has been mentioned. That narrows it down a lot. Coupled with the fact that I'm currently subject to the same sort of behaviour described above it is pretty obvious that it is the same local authority.

I'd really like to be able to find the case transcript and details but unsure where to search for it.

I found some interesting cases on http://www.bailii.org but nothing which looked like this specific issue. Northampton was mentioned above but I can't find a way to search cases heard at Northampton.

Re; London Borough of XXXXXXX

If the number of x's correctly correspond with the name of the authority then I'm now 99.99% sure. Oddly I hadn't noticed this clue.....it was completely different criterion that my assumption was based on.

Don't know how you would go about getting the judgment. Tried searching with some obvious terms including the local authority and found nothing.
