From Tuesday's Evening News

Our legal system favours council

WHILE agreeing with Mary Church’s view on access to courts, her comments fail to express the greater picture on Scottish law (Letters, January 20).

Local authorities are protected from actions being taken against them in Sheriff Courts, whilst having the unique provision of being able to obtain court orders against anyone they choose without recourse to a hearing in these courts. Such orders, should they fall outwith the “tax collection” provision, fail to meet the “fairness” test of Human Rights Act compliance and the courts are failing to provide those so subjected to hearings.

None of these types of processes have as yet been examined by our courts for HRA compliance and would certainly fail. Only those able to bring cases to court, slopping out and prison votes and such like, get to court because legal aid is obtainable and results in an unfortunate public perception of the HRA in Scotland.

This hotchpotch of legislative processes is a system which protects and favours councils in this way results in services being provided in an autocratic way and has over years given us councils that simply ignore those it knows cannot do anything about it.

But some were successful?

How many legal challenges in the last ten years, and how many plates issued?

None of Jasbars were dusty. Anyway I was only pointing out that the letter to the EEN was silly because the Council have been challenged many times in court

But there must have been around 50 plates issued via legal challenges.

Ah, I see what you mean now - they weren't Jasbar's half daft pals. They were the clever ones :D

And does he have any fully daft pals? #-o

Perhaps you shouldn't answer that :lol:

i think the guys on about council tax arrears
and he's right, they take you to court and you don't have the right to even be there in fact they don't have to inform you until they have judgment against you

asbo's are along the same lines you basically don't get the right to a fair trial

no justice

and no ive got neither at the moment :oops:
