The disgraceful corporate councils are breaking the rules again. They are often issuing falsified documents.
Yet the rules are clear enough. A PCN must be issued within 7 days. A "Charge Certificate" must be issued within 12 months. The council must reapply before end of 12 months for another 12 Months. There is a maximum time limit of 24 months and that only applies if they have reapplied.

CPR 75.7
" (5) For the purposes of execution a warrant will be valid for 12 months beginning with the date of its issue.
(6) An authority may not renew a warrant issued in accordance with this Part beyond the 12 month validity period but, subject to paragraph (7), an authority may request the reissue of a warrant during the 12 month validity period. "
Council solicitors acting dishonestly can be reported to the Solicitors Regulation Authority and can be sued.

The SRA state that the public have a duty to report dishonesty. A solicitor can be struck off. A council solicitor can be banned from Public Office and lose any pensions.

Council staff acting dishonestly should be prosecuted for their Misconduct in Public Office and lose their pensions. If they have conspired with others to issue false documents, then the others must be subject to the same discipline.
