Re: Misallocating payments and ignoring email to exploit Magistrates court costs
The Ombudsman and the police and the judge all ignore the fact that the legislation is set up such that this blithe invitation to use the appeal process is utterly unreasonable, and peculiar to council tax. I assume the legislation was set up this way on purpose. It needs to be recognised and dealt with. Nicolson proved it, £32,000 for his representation and a risk of a similar (or greater) amount against him if he lost. If the Ombudsman and the police and judges don't want to be put in this position, who better to campaign against it? But they just kick it away like so much irritation. Not my hot potato.
