A Liability Order gives the Council the
authority of the Court to recover monies by the following
methods:
Further information on each of these methods is
available by clicking the link on the left of the screen. If on the
date of the hearing the amount has not been paid in full an officer
from the recovery team will attend the court to present the
Council's case.
The Council will have to prove that all the
necessary procedures have been adhered to. It is normal practice to
ask for liability orders in bulk, however if an individual does
attend the Court to dispute the evidence he must be allowed to put
his case forward.
If it is accepted by the Magistrates that the
Council has adhered to the necessary procedures as the law dictates
they have no choice but to make the liability orders. The Liability
Order are for the sole use of the Council and remain the Council's
property.
After the hearing and on the same day the
recovery team will send out a Notice of Liability Order with a
Request for Arrangement Form.
