Still Nothing From the Magistrates.

Called them twice over the errors in their summons and there was still no answer. That means the problem will have to be raised in writing with them tomorrow. Just for the record the definition of nuisance I'll be using is the common law definition as used the the Housing Act 1996. As this is a housing matter that's the most relevant statute and as it's the definition referenced in the Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003 it is one that a Magistrates Court should be familiar with.

Meanwhile my case is prepared and ready to go tomorrow should the defence be happy to answer an allegation that was not on the summons. I doubt this will happen because while it would be very funny for them to walk into Court thinking their mates at the Court had managed to help them avoid a charge only to discover they hadn't it won't be considered very fair on them.

On a related note I should point out that while it would be helpful if I could get hold of a copy of then tenancy agreements used at number 50 I suspect there are four, individual assured shorthold tenancies. That means that this proceeding will have absolutely no impact on the tenants right to be housed by the local authority and should clear the way for them to claim damages for the way they've been treated.
