Court trials in relation to council tax
Dear Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service,
1. Can you tell me why the court doesn't hold a trial when deciding the fate between the council and the public in relation to unpaid council tax bills?
2. If the court do hold trials, then when are they held and how many times a week are they held? Can members of the public attend these trials?
3. If the court do hold trials, then why don't the courts send the appropriate court paper work to the defender as court procedures would dictate and demand.
4. Do the court grant a writ and certificate? And who receives these court instruments?
5. Under what law are these council tax hearings taking place. And what laws are the writs granted under?
6. Are the judgements registered with the lord chancellor on trustonline.org.uk If not, then why not?
Yours faithfully,
kemal aytac
