I will be careful what I say here. This story involves someone who has not yet been to court, but it looks likely to happen in the very near future.
This person gives carboard boxes to his neighbour. These boxes are the sort you'd have something delivered in, ie they have his name and address on.His neighbour is a member of a church, and these boxes are passed on, and used for all sorts of different purposes.
The local council found one of these boxes in a nearby street containing lots of rubbish.
It also contained an empty envelope with this person's name and address on it.
This person is now being persued by the council for costs in cleaning up this box of rubbish (£50.00).
He did not dump the rubbish, and is rightly refusing to pay. He says the council can send him a bill IF they can prove he was the fly-tipper.
They are insisting on arguing the case in court.
What do people think?
I am NOT, Breezer, asking for legal advice, just thoughts and opinions about this situation.
