(powys magistrates court). Funny this court is not listed nor registered on the MoJ court finder service. Even had the clerk of the court give the court identification number of Llandrindod wells magistrates court 3351 as its identification number. Do magistrates courts have more than one name or share a court identification number?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1294928770519722820.post-12843751191297332622015-05-07T17:12:11.857+01:002015-05-07T17:12:11.857+01:00I agree entirely.

Last year the costs asked for went up from £90 to £120 per case with no justification given. There are approximately 200,000 such prosecutions each year. That is a potential costs income of £24,000,000 - a vast sum of money. Where does this income go? Capita to whom TV Licensing is contracted out or the BBC?<br />Of course people should buy a licence but once again, it is poor people who don't and they get hammered yet again. At least decent Magistrates can reduce these costs demands on the basis of income which is more than they can do with the appalling newly introduced court charges. Pity the poor indeed. Even more so if Mr Cameron and his Etonian mates get back into power tomorrow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
