Liability court hearing - accepting liability
If you accept liability but are unable to pay the arrears before the hearing, you do not need to attend court unless you wish to do so.
However, you should contact the Council to agree a payment arrangement. If you do not get in touch, once a liability order has been granted, the Council may take further action without prior notice.
Payment proposals
If you accept liability for the outstanding amount, plus any prior arrears, but are unable to pay in full, the Council will accept an arrangement from you to clear them. Contact us to agree terms.
