Yorkshire Lass successfully fends off Council Tax bully bailiff
In a heated exchange on 21st November 2024 lasting over 20 mins, ( shown in the video below which contains some distressing scenes and bad language ) ‘The Yorkshire Lass’ a feisty freedom campaigner standing under her lawful sovereign rights, ( Section 26 of TCA&E 2007 that she quotes right into the filler enhanced face of the shrinking bully ) reduces arrogant Bristow & Sutor Bailiff Catherine Scott to tears after she stupidly turned up to try enforce a council tax debt of £835.49 which had been inflated by her own commission and fees for just turning up on a debtors doorstep. She is seen later on blubbering like a crybaby in her car while seeking consolation from someone on the phone.
🎄We reported on this scandal last Christmas and accurately called it out here:
Ex copper gets her comeuppance
Cocky Catherine Scott had, according to The Yorkshire Lass, apparently claimed to know the law because she says she was previously a ‘police officer’ for 10 years although this is not shown on the footage. ( do you know her? Let us know if this is true )
However she is reluctant to show her court issued identification which is also required under the same law that her employers fell foul of and therefore she possibly committed yet another actionable breach of the law.
“I have a child” says Catherine 😢
Bristow & Sutor have known that their policy of sending bailiffs out without a copy of the court issued Liability Order was illegal but they have recklessly continued to act with a blatant disregard for the very law under which they purport to operate and they have shamefully put a target on the back of every one of their hapless employees by failing to tell them about the correct application of the law which was settled in September 2023 in their own case! ( of Leighton versus Bristow and Sutor ) where the judge awarded Wayne Leighton £4000 in damages for a similar incident where they sent another hapless Patsy to try and enforce a council tax debt when they knew they didn’t have the required liability order from the court in accordance with the law.

But it gets worse!…
The judge refused to award Mr Leighton any actual damages in the original case on the basis that he held that the original bailiff was acting in good faith under a ‘genuine belief’ that he was entitled to visit the premises by using a document called an “authority to act“ which is just written out by the council themselves, and not a proper legally enforceable order of the court issued by a verifiable third party.
Acting in bad faith
However since the original judgement was made in Cardiff high court in 2023 it is held that Bristow and Sutor are now fully aware that they are unable to turn up to trying enforce a debt without this critical piece of paperwork from the court and therefore this has extinguished any excuse they may have had that they were acting in good faith because they knew from the instant of that ruling what is required to act lawfully in the conduct of their business. Bristow and Sutor have been contacted numerous times during the last year about the blatant ignorance of the law following their loss in court but have continued to maintain that turning up with an “authority to act“ is still sufficient despite the judge saying that it is not and fining them £4000.
What to do if you have a bailiff turn up at your door for council tax?
You should always take your own legal advice that is specific to your circumstances, however the Law does stipulate that the bailiff must show their court issued ID that you should take a copy of to verify they are a genuine bailiff ( because there are many fake bailiffs that operate similar scams ) and they must show you a copy of the order from the court and they are not allowed to refer you back to the council or show you any council generated documents such as an “authority to act“ which was held to be unlawful in the Leighton case.
If they failed to do this you can complain to the court using an EAC2 form:
Take your winnings from their £10,000 Bond 💷🤏🏻
You should turn up to present your own evidence and ensure that the court do not allow third-party interlopers such as the bailiffs employer to make any representations to the court or represent the bailiff in any way because the matter before the court is purely between yourself and the errant bailiff, because the bailiffs employer is not licensed by the court and has no standing in such a matter. This would also be a breach of the courts obligation to ensure “equality of arms” if it all allows the bailiff to be represented and you are not represented.
You may request that the court awards you £4000 from the bailiffs £10,000 bond that the court holds for such eventualities and also ask that the court awards you another £4000 under The Prevention of Harassment Act 1997, but you must show TWO Instances of harassment in order to qualify so you may need to provide other evidence such as texts or letters or evidence of phone calls by the bailiff to substantiate your case.
Lord Chancellor under fire
There are now calls on the Lord Chancellor Shabna Mahmood who is in charge of the Courts to immediately revoke the licence of all other Bailiffs acting for Bristow & Sutor for continuing to act outside of the law and bringing the legal system into disrepute by their persistent and reckless lawbreaking in pursuit of profit at any cost.
Scandal of the Toothless quango that refuses to act
The ECB ( Enforcement Conduct Board ) has refused to act to regulate the scandal of the people they are supposed to oversee by saying that it is “a matter for the Courts, and the local authorities which seek the orders.”
Despite being shown other out of control bailiff companies like Jacob’s below acting unlawfully.

Conclusion
This demonstrates another example of the two tier society that we live in where government sponsored bullies are allowed to flout the law without consequence yet the hard-working citizens of this country are subject to the full force of overbearing Draconian legislation. This must stop! 🧟♂️🫷🏻
A police officer that knows the law? Really? That's a first!
Stand up for your Unalienable rights people and stop letting fear over-ride your thoughts; Being that Our Commonwealth(s) have been usurped by Corporate Over-Lords, it is our Duty to deny and defy the Extortion Demands of the CEO's and their belligerent Policy Enforcers so that we might see the return of Our Commonwealth(s) and all the (Common Law) Rights and Benefits that go with it so that we and any future we's no longer have to deal with this crap sandwich being forced down our throats;
I have restacked this with honour
