Council Tax Debts Have Now Become Unenforceable By Bailiffs
Thu 12:03 pm +01:00, 20 Jun 2024
A new landmark high court ruling effectively prevents enforcement agents from seizing goods in connection with council tax and even entering anyone’s property
The High Court has just handed all Council Tax defendants a potential £4000 Christmas bonus if they sue bailiffs for attempted enforcement which has just been made illegal by a landmark ruling in the case of Leighton versus Bristow and Sutor which showed that the bailiff company didn’t have the correct paperwork when they turned up during an 8 year campaign of alleged harassment even when they visited the defendants elderly parents house to extract money.
Background
When a council obtain a Liability Order in court against someone that has defaulted on their council tax payments they will seek to enforce this order by way of sending in enforcement officers sometimes known as bailiffs.
The conduct of these enforcement officers is strictly controlled under the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007. Schedule 12 details that the enforcement officer must show their identity and the proof of authority from the court that entitles them to be on the premises.
