The following story is posted on SCOOP today and is vitally important for all debtors with severe financial difficulties who may be struggling to pay Magistrates Court FINES. The story is from the website of Tax Payers Against Poverty which is run by the Reverend Paul Nicholson. On a separate matter, he currently has an ongoing Judicial Review application pending in the High Court regarding an application for a Liability Order (full details of which are featured on this forum). The Reverend lobbied MP's and Peers for an amendment to be introduced into the Legal Advice Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 to allow for cases to be referred back to the Magistrates Court in the following cases: Where the person was not in court when fines and has a disproportionate fine. Where there is a change of circumstances after the Magistrates original decision. Where there is financial hardship. It would seem that Magistrates Courts are failing to abide by the amendment.
