A way to put rates to rights
Fear, B.
A way to put rates to rights - 2001 - Estates Gazette (0105) 3 February 2001, 159(1) .
Outlines the implications of the Human Rights Act 1998 for the collection of rates by local authorities. Whilst the state is allowed to deprive an individual of property in order to 'secure the payment of taxes' local authorities should consider whether seeking a liability order or collecting rates before final determination would impose an excessive burden on the rate payer and therefore be in breach of the Act.
