There might be a contract for the level of services that you are willing to contribute to. One the other hand, your council may not have provided the services, or otherwise behaved in a manner where there is a reasonable contract. All contracts of course must be reasonable. If they are not, there should be a mechanism through which you can seek an effective remedy.
In the case of the Generating Station, the council has failed to provide adequate roads, or to prevent regular flooding, or even illegal waste discharges out to sea. There are no affordable homes to rent in the Hailsham/Herstmonceux area. And worst of all, the Heritage Asset has no reasonable or beneficial use to pay for treatments or general maintenance. It is thus a good idea to write to the Council, asking how/where the Tax they are claiming, is being spent.
A builder accepted
£790,000 yesterday in an out of court settlement after he was found to have been racially discriminated against by council officials in a planning dispute.
[In 1991, the Human Rights Act 1998 was not law. It became law in 2000, making it easier to bring a case in theory, except that Legal Aid was cut back by the State, in a deliberate effort to take away the rights of the electorate. We need more solicitors like Humphreys & Co. who are willing to have a go against big corporations like councils. Interestingly, in 2024 Sir Kier Starmer was elected as Labour Prime Minister, a former human rights lawyer.]
WERE YOU TRICKED BY A SYSTEM YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER? - Did you enter into a service contract, or were you tricked into thinking it was a legal requirement with no rights attaching. Did you think (like so many others) that you had to accept their terms without being able to challenge them. That is not so. The Consumer Protection Act 2015 provides a level of protection to consumers from those who provide services. If, for example, the service provided is not of up to a normal standard (not of merchantable quality). Your council is a corporation, bound by all the laws of England and Wales, and in Scotland, by their laws.
The judgment highlighted a "policy regime or practice to treat him unfavourably" based on his race.
COPILOT AI
In this case, Kelly Davis, a builder from Bath, was racially discriminated against by council officials during a planning dispute.
The judge ruled that planning officers had acted unhelpfully and obstructively in refusing to grant him planning permission for work on his home between 1989 and 1991.
The discrimination was based on race, as Kelly Davis was the only black builder in Wansdyke at the time [1]. Therefore, the concept and case precedent extend beyond black Africans to include all races. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask! ��
