Dear Eve Richardson Smith
Stage 2 independent review
Your response is entirely unsatisfactory. Firstly I have not asked the Council to undertake an investigation on account of one being unnecessary, and secondly, there is nothing to support the Council's decision.
The council has been provided overwhelming evidence that it pursued Council Tax recovery through the Magistrates' court when it shouldn't have.
The simplest way to remedy this is for the Council to apply to the court to have the liability order quashed.
I understand that an application to the court under regulation 36A of the Council Tax Regulations can only be made by the local authority. However, that doesn't warrant the authority using its discretion irresponsibly where there is no dispute about the facts. If the person with overall responsibility for this decision continues to leave the matter unresolved (knowing the serious consequences) then there is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that the person is unfit for public office.
Yours sincerely
