Challenges to the legality of Council Tax

Last updated: 20 December 2022

Acts, statutes and legislation

Some residents have asked whether Acts and Statutes are an obligation on them, and about the difference between a Statute and Law, and other similar questions regarding legal matters.

Acts of Parliaments are Statutes which set out the law. Acts and statutes are also referred to as legislation.

If you have questions regarding Acts of Parliament or laws, these should be directed to a legal professional, not the council.
