Dam starting to crack...Chorley Borough Council admit Bill of Rights is valid


...and that no-one can be fined except by a court
...but then goes on to add that they issue Penalty Charge Notices not fines.

Oh how we laughed.

Looks like it's all closing in on the whole sordid decriminalised parking enforcement scam

the Bill of Rights Act actually says "no fine or Forfeiture", a penalty charge is still a Forfeiture and as such is also Illegal as their is no recourse to a Court of Law, these People are as bad as Adolf Hitler trying to take the Law into their own hands!

A penalty must be clearly stated before it can be enforced. When statute creates an offence and specifies a penalty without saying how the offence is to be tried, there may be an implication that it is to be imposed by a magistrates' court. Article 7 of the European Convention on Human Rights forbids the use of retrospective criminal penalties, and this prohibition is now part of UK law as a consequence of the Human Rights Act 1998.

Penalty
1. A punishment established by law or authority for a crime or offense.
2. Something, especially a sum of money, required as a forfeit for an offense.


Section 11 The Human Rights Act 1998, Safeguard for existing human rights.

A person's reliance on a Convention right does not restrict-
 
  (a) any other right or freedom conferred on him by or under any law having effect in any part of the United Kingdom


The Bill of Rights 1689

That all grants and promises of "fines and forfeitures" of particular persons before conviction, are illegal and void.

So they agree that what they've done is against the law but they still think they can do it even though it's against the law ... I think not. Keep plugging away at it Neil.
