Re: I wonder how far this will go
 

Hopefully as far as possible. The magistrates and JP showed total disrespect for the law issuing the order before the case had even been heard, that ignores their actions during the case.

That was really interesting. I don't know who was more confused, me or everybody else :)

Re: I wonder how far this will go
 

that was pure class

Re: I wonder how far this will go
 

they seem to have kept it very quiet up till now

Re: I wonder how far this will go
 

I wonder what the council did next?
I doubt they'll say "ok, you've got us, it's a fair cop, don't pay your outstanding council tax"
Sent in the bailiffs?

Re: I wonder how far this will go
 

That would depend on of the Liability order could be proven as legal or not. Without a legal liability order the bailiffs have no power. The whole thing shows how wrong it is though with the order being signed before the case is heard . There is seriously something wrong with that

It was nice to see the old bill doing what was right though

Re: I wonder how far this will go
 

I think they were overwhelmed. they wasn't getting much feedback to tell them who's right and who's wrong, and just being cautious with the man that swallowed a law book.

Re: I wonder how far this will go
 

Unfortunately bailiffs don't seem to always care about the legality of their orders.

Re: I wonder how far this will go
 

What a total twassock. As far as I am aware, common law is not something that supersedes statute.

Re: I wonder how far this will go
 

+ of course the fee to the councils solicitor who charged more than the writ was for, what was her need to be there or be paid if the order had already been issued, fraud and waste are endemic at all levels in this country and it's really starting to pish me of.

Hopefully they get done for filming inside a court without the relevant authorisation.

Re: I wonder how far this will go
 

I was thinking that too - and also found it odd what he says at the start, that there's no compulsion to pay Council Tax :confused:

Re: I wonder how far this will go
 

From my perspective, and I'll be the first to admit I'm a tiny bit biased on the side of the whole power of the court thing, I think it's someone who had a few too many and got involved in an argument about ancient laws and came up with the bright idea that simply refusing to stand up in court removes him from its powers.

Personally I'd give the court officials a taser and anyone who is able to stand and refuses gets a shock to assist them out their seats. :)

If it was all BS then what does come out of this is that neither the Magistrates or the Police know enough about the law. If what he was saying is true the the Police knew the score and the Magistrates were unsure.

Surely if the guy was talking BS then in all that time someone in the courts ,specially the prosecutor who you assume has a law degree and with such would be the highest qualified in law in the room should have been able to sort it out and arrests be made

If the guy was to turn out to be right and tasers were used then it would be someone like you who would have to arrest the taser user for assault
