Solicitor wins extra wheelie bin case
Councils across Britain could be forced to hand out extra wheelie bins to households after a landmark ruling.
"Roger Houlker, a solicitor, fought a two-and-a-half-year battle against Congleton Borough Council to prove that he should be given a second bin for his six-bedroom Cheshire home.
The local government ombudsman, Anne Seex, has now found the council guilty of "maladministration with injustice" for failing to collect his extra waste and told it to review its policy".
This case confirms my suspicion that lawyers are full of rubbish...
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
