      Rates Summons

      Requested Mon 08 April 2019
      Responded Thu 02 May 2019

      I would be interested in any information held by the local authority regarding my request. I understand that I do not have to specify particular files or documents and it is the departments responsibility to provide the information I require. If you need further clarification please contact me by email.

      I would like the information to be emailed to me in electronic form. 

      Please confirm:-

      1) total number of all assessments liable for non-domestic (business) rates in the local authority area during 2017/18 and 2018/19. 

      2) in the financial years 2017/18 and 2018/19 please advise:-

      I) total number of summons issued in the Magistrates Court for non-payment either in whole or and/or in part of non-domestic (business) rates.

      II) total number of Liability Orders obtained in the Magistrates Court for non-payment either in whole or in part of non-domestic (business) rates.

      III) total number of referrals made to Enforcement Officers (Bailiffs) to enforce Liability Orders for non-payment either in whole or in part of non-domestic (business) rates.

      If my request is denied in whole and/or in part, I ask that you justify all deletions by reference to specific exemptions of the Act. I will also expect you to release all non-exempt material. I reserve the right to appeal any decision to withhold information and/or to charge fees from which this request should be exempt. 

      I would be grateful if you could confirm in writing that you have received this request. I look forward to your response within 20 working days as outlined by the statute.
