Legislation and Magistrates' Courts
Much has been written about magistrates' courts from John Harris to Lawful Rebellion and beyond. Are magistrates' courts acting lawfully? Are they actually courts, or rooms hired for the day by the council with lawyers acting as magistrates? Are magistrates even supposed to deal with council tax? Does the council pass on your defence (reasons for setting aside taxes) to the court? Are bulk hearings legal? Isn't every defendant entitled to be judged (as is the law) by a jury of their peers?
These questions are outside the scope ProbityCo, not least as there are many already looking into the legality, lawfulness or otherwise of taxes and the coercive methods employed to extricate monies from the public (see links below).
The aim of ProbityCo is to question the legal and lawful actions of successive governments who consistently breach international law, lie to the public and have been complicit in multiple wars of aggression, which is a crime. We have chosen therefore to operate within their own legal/lawful realm(s) in order to show how the government, Parliamentarians & civil servants, are in clear breach of their own ratified international and that those aiding and abetting these crimes via the tax system are not only complicit morally, but could themselves be found to be aiding and abetting crime.
Few taxpayers would choose to fund the killing of men, women and children wherever they may be. If the government cannot guarantee beyond any and all reasonable doubt that the monies will not be used to fund crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide, they cannot collect these monies. Governments must be held accountable. This is the fight.
Making a Stand - the Art of Rebuttal
Are Liability Orders enforceable?
Wayne Leighton successfully sued Bristow & Sutor (see case details right) for an alleged eight year campaign of harassment, including visiting the defendants elderly parents to extract money - even though the bailiff company was never in possession of the correct paperwork. The High Court awarded Wayne Leighton £4,000 in damages in a landmark ruling which places serious doubt on the enforceability of liability orders. Even bailiffs need to follow due process. Worth checking if your bailiff is registered - their licenses have often elapsed.
Below are a series of letters (In addition to those under the STEPS 1-6 dropdown menu) which have led to successful challenges in regard to the withholding of tax and dealing with Councils, Parking tickets and magistrates' courts.
