Re: TV licence non payment could be made a civil offence
Man wins TV licence battle (from 2012)
Quote:
A MAN who took on the TV Licensing authority in court and won is still waiting for his costs to be paid.
Michael Shakespeare, from Grays, made sure all his equipment at home could not receive a live TV signal and watched catch up TV through the internet, which you do not need a TV licence for.
Mr Shakespeare wrote to the authority to inform it what he had done, inviting it to send someone round to check it out.
An inspector was sent round to check the equipment and Mr Shakespeare filmed it.
He heard nothing more until five months later, when a summons for court arrived in the post for non-payment of his TV licence.
