UK Councils are committing Fraud and TREASON. Our report exposes their criminal behaviour.
It is up to each member of the Commonwealth to stop a crime. We, the People have the Power and Authority to CITIZEN’S ARREST any criminal.
As more evidence of the TREASON and TREACHERY by political party governments around the world surfaces, it has come to our notice that the UK Councils are committing acts of TREASON and FRAUD in their attempts to unlawfully cheat people out of their money to pay for unlawful Council Rates. These Councils have been setting up their own “ghost courts”.
FRAUD VITIATES EVERYTHING!
In the UK, local councils are accused of using “ghost courts”—fictitious entities posing as legitimate courts—to enforce council tax payments. These administrative processes, lacking proper judicial oversight, mislead residents and may violate legal rights.
While this issue is UK-specific, it raises questions about transparency and fairness in local government processes, a concern relevant to Australians facing similar council actions. Here’s what ghost courts are, why they’re problematic, and what lessons Australia can learn.
What Are Ghost Courts?
Ghost courts are not real courts but administrative setups run by UK councils to issue council tax liability orders. For example, East Hampshire District Council uses names like “Local Justice Areas of North East Hampshire” on summonses, implying a court hearing when it’s just a council process.
Research, including activist Martin Geddes’ work and blogs like Awakened England (July 2025), shows these “courts” lack independent judges, undermining due process.
How Do They Mislead People?
Councils use official-sounding court names to intimidate residents into paying without question.
These summonses suggest a legal proceeding, but they’re often bulk administrative orders with no judicial scrutiny.
During COVID-19, some councils held “virtual hearings” from their own offices, further blurring the line between council and court. This lack of transparency can lead to unfair penalties, as residents may not know they can challenge the process.
Are They Illegal?
Research confirms that ghost courts violate UK laws, like the Magistrates’ Courts Act 1980 and Courts Act 2003, which require courts to be properly established by the Lord Chancellor. Using administrative areas as “courts” lacks legal authority and may breach fair trial rights under the Human Rights Act 1998. A UK case, R v. Soneji [2005], supports the view that such unlawful processes are invalid, making liability orders questionable, if not downright criminal.
What Can Be Done?
UK residents are fighting back by Challenging Orders and attending hearings to question the court’s legitimacy, as Geddes did at Peterlee Magistrates Court.
FOI Requests: Asking councils or the Ministry of Justice for proof of court authorization. Download and edit the templates provided below to write your own FOI request. As the laws of Australia, Canada, and New Zealand are based on English Law, these Templates can be used in both countries.
Judicial Reviews: Seeking High Court reviews of unlawful orders within three months.
Raising Awareness: Sharing information via blogs and social media to pressure councils.
Lessons for Australia
While ghost courts are a UK issue, Australian councils also wield significant power in rates enforcement, often with limited oversight. The UK’s experience warns against unchecked administrative processes that could erode trust in local government. Australians can stay vigilant by:
- Scrutinizing council notices for legal validity.
- Using FOI requests to verify council processes.
- Advocating for transparent, accountable local governance.
Conclusion
The UK’s ghost courts highlight how local governments can exploit legal ambiguities to pressure citizens.
For Australians, this serves as a reminder to hold councils accountable and ensure processes are fair and lawful.
By learning from the UK, we can protect our rights and push for reforms that prioritize transparency.
