CASE LAW ON THE ISSUING OF SUMMONS The Queens Bench Division reviewed the practice of admin staff issuing summonses and ruled that the Lord Chancellor’s ‘advice was misconceived and should no longer be followed’ and subsequently quashed the decisions of both of the courts and both applicants had their convictions quashed. If the issuance of council tax summonses is judicial, and cannot be delegated as an administrative function, then we may have a clear violation of legislative power if a summons is not issued by a justice of the peace. We can use this case law to demonstrate that the procedures set in legislation cannot be ignored by the courts since a precedent has already been set. https://awakenedgb.wordpress.com/2023/11/03/r-v-gateshead-justices-ex-parte-tesco-stores-ltd-r-v-birmingham-justices-ex-parte-d-w-parkin-construction-ltd-and-others/
