Happy new year to our loyal readers and thank you for coming back to us in 2018.
If you're new to the TV Licensing Blog, then please take a moment to visit our About and Quick Guide pages.
Apologies that the past month or so has been pretty slow in terms of new material on the TV Licensing Blog. December was a slow month in general for TV Licensing news, which was compounded by a festive lack of blogging motivation.
Shortly before Christmas we asked the BBC to provide the most recent edition of the Capita Court Presenter's Manual, which you can download from the Documents section of our Resources page. A redacted version of the manual had been disclosed previously, so we reasoned that the BBC would have no valid grounds to refuse our request.
The manual has undergone significant revision as a result of the recently introduced Single Justice Procedure, which you can read about in our earlier post.
Given that the overwhelming majority of TV licence evasion cases are channelled down the Single Justice route, we surmise that there is now much less work for the average Capita TV Licensing Court Presenter.
Hopefully that means there has been a lot of redundancies recently!
