Hi, would a 'magistrate liability order' for the council to enforce council tax payments on 'person A' be a 'civil judgement' against 'person A'. This is in relation to the Home Office indefinite leave to remain application form that require to declare any civil judgement made against the applicant.

All council tax debt has been cleared.

Thank you for your kind advice.

Have you checked with your Council whether this appears on any report (CCJ, CRB etc) apart from council's own log?

no I haven't. Will the council tell me this? According to other information gathered on this forum, a magistrate liability order is neither a CCJ or a criminal conviction.

What i want to know is whether this need to be declared as the 'civil judgement against the applicant' in the application for ILR.
