Haste Limited & Birmingham Magistrates Court Complicit in Fraud

Octopus, who are trading insolvent and are not suppliers but traders of gas and electricity, are now employing Haste Limited to illegally harass people with fraudulent warrants.

https://awakenedgb.wordpress.com/2023/10/12/octopus-not-a-supplier-and-trading-insolvent/

Haste Limited are listed as an electrical repair company and are applying for illegal warrants to enter homes to cut supply or install pre-payment meters.

The warrants of entry are illegal because Octopus and Haste are not Network Operators or Suppliers and therefore have no rights under the Gas Act 1954 or the Electricity Act 1989.

Haste are misquoting the Rights of Entry (Gas and Electricity Boards) Act 1954 because they are not employees of a supplier; they are an agent.

In order to apply for a warrant under the Rights of Entry (Gas and Electricity Boards) Act 1954, section 2, they must be a gas operator, an electricity operator, or an employee of either.

Haste Limited are third party agents, not operators or employees of an operator.

Courts such as Porstmouth Magistrates Court and Birminham Magistrates Court are issuing illegal warrants to companies that have no authority to make such an application.

Haste make their fraudulent warrant applications to Birmingham Magistrates Court who are complicit in fraud.

If you have recieved a warrant from a private limited company that is not an operator or a supplier you can make a complaint about the issuing court with the Judiciary Conduct Authority: https://www.complaints.judicialconduct.gov.uk and with HMCTS – this is their complaints procedure https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-courts-and-tribunals-service/about/complaints-procedure and here is the HMCTS complaint form https://hmcts-complaint-form-eng.form.service.justice.gov.uk. You can also complain to the court directly https://www.find-court-tribunal.service.gov.uk/search-by-name. Tell them the warant says agent not employee, they are not a network operator or supplier, and they have no contract or deed of assignment to substatiate their claim.

If they change your name to the occupier to gain entry without your consent it is fraud:

In the above example, Haste Limited were granted a fraudulent ‘warrant of entry’ by Birmingham Magistrates’ Court who have broken the legislation by awarding the warrant to a third party Limited Company that is not registered as either a supplier or an operator.

The Act cited on the warrant requires information in writing to be given to a Justice of the Peace, otherwise known as a Magistrate. So the first question would be to ask Birmingham Magistrates Court if Mr Stewart and Mr Prever are listed as being Magistrates at that court.

According to Companies House the SIC Code Classification for Haste Limited defines them as ‘Repair of electrical equipment’ with the Activity listed on Endole being ‘Domestic appliance support and maintenance’. Therefore, the legislation does not apply to Haste Limited and they cannot make an application for a warrant of entry pursuant to Section 2 of the Act because they are not a supplier or an operator.

Rights of Entry (Gas and Electricity Boards) Act 1954
2 Warrant to authorise entry.
(1) Where it is shown to the satisfaction of a justice of the peace, on sworn information in writing,—
[F1(a)that admission to premises specified in the information is reasonably required by a gas operator or an electricity operator or by an employee of a gas operator or an electricity operator;]
(b)that [F2the operator or [F3any employee of the operator]], as the case may be, would, apart from the preceding section, be entitled for that purpose to exercise in respect of the premises a right of entry to which this Act applies; and
(c) that the requirements (if any) of the relevant enactment have been complied with,
then subject to the provisions of this section the justice may by warrant under his hand authorise [F4the operator or [F3any employee of the operator]], as the case may be, to enter the premises, if need be by force.
(2) If, in a case to which the preceding subsection applies, the relevant enactment does not require notice of an intended entry to be given to the occupier of the premises, the justice shall not grant a warrant under this section in respect of the right of entry in question unless he is satisfied—
(a)that admission to the premises for the purpose specified in the information was sought by a person lawfully requiring entry in the exercise of that right, and was so sought after not less than twenty-four hours’ notice of the intended entry had been given to the occupier; or
(b)that admission to the premises for that purpose was sought in a case of emergency and was refused by or on behalf of the occupier; or
(c)that the premises are unoccupied; or
(d)that an application for admission to the premises would defeat the object of the entry.
[F5(3)Where paragraph (a) of subsection (2) above applies—
(a)section 46 of the Gas Act 1986 (if entry is required for the purposes of a [F6gas operator]); or
(b)section 109 of the Electricity Act 1989 (if entry is required for the purposes of [F7an electricity operator]),
shall apply to the service of the notice required by that paragraph.]
[F8(4)Every warrant granted under this section shall continue in force until—
(a)the time when the purpose for which the entry is required is satisfied; or
(b)the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which the warrant was granted, whichever is the earlier.]
(5)Any person who, in the exercise of a right of entry under the authority of a warrant granted under this section, enters any premises which are unoccupied, or premises of which the occupier is temporarily absent, shall leave the premises as effectually secured against trespassers as he found them.
(6)Where a warrant is granted under this section in respect of a right of entry, then for the purposes of any enactment whereby—
(a)an obligation is imposed to make good damage, or to pay compensation, or to take any other step, in consequence of the exercise of the right of entry, or
(b)a penalty is imposed for obstructing the exercise of that right,
any entry effected, or sought to be effected, under the authority of the warrant shall be treated as an entry effected, or sought to be effected, in the exercise of that right of entry.
(7)This section shall, in its application to Scotland, have effect as if for any reference to a justice of the peace there were substituted a reference to the sheriff and to a magistrate or justice of the peace having jurisdiction in the place where the premises entry to which is sought are situated.

In addition, the PO Box is a non contracting address which is not the address they have listed on Companies House. https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/03440010 .

The Respondent is not named and is for The Occupier. Haste Limited are fraudulently claiming that the property is empty.

Haste Limited do not have an Ofgem licence: https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/energy-policy-and-regulation/industry-licensing/licences-and-licence-conditions

When conducting your research on a company always check https://companycheck.co.uk and https://www.endole.co.uk/ for more information about the company.

Endole shows us that their net assets took a leap in 2019 and 2020. I wonder when they started their fraudulent work for Octopus? Was this the reason for their increased cash in the bank?

DSAR the registered offices of Haste Limited and the court requesting the claim form that was supplied to the court requesting the warrant. If Haste lied on the cliam form and signed it as a statement of truth then they are committing fraud and misleading the court which is contempt of court under Practice Direction 22. https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil/rules/part22/pd_part22 You can make another complaint to HMCTS https://hmcts-complaint-form-eng.form.service.justice.gov.uk and to the court directly https://www.find-court-tribunal.service.gov.uk/search-by-name.

Template Letter to the Court Manager

Dear Sir / Madame

Reference: Warrant / Summons Applications Without Notice

I am writing to bring to your attention a serious matter concerning edit if requiredOctopus Energy’s misrepresentation as the energy supplier / broker / billing agent for the property at;
Edit[full address in single line].

It has been conclusively established and recorded by the police that edit accordinly Octopus Energy is no longer the supplier / broker / billing company for this property. Moreover, their continued use of the MPAN number constitutes an act of fraud. Consequently, any application for a Right of Entry Warrant made by edit accordinglyOctopus Energy or their agent is a deliberate act of fraud.

I would like to draw your attention to the judicial requirements in cases of this nature, as established by the case law Regina v. Brentford Justices, Ex parte Catlin [1975)

“It must however be remembered that before a summons or warrant is issued the information must be laid before a magistrate and he must go through the judicial exercise of deciding whether a summons or warrant ought to be issued or not.

If a magistrate authorises the issue of a summons without having applied his mind to the information he is guilty of dereliction of duty and if any particular Justices clerks office practices goes on, of summonses being issued without information being laid before the magistrate at all, then a very serious instance of maladministration arises which should have the attention of the authorities without delay.”

Lord Widgery C.J.

In accordance with the statement by Lord Widgery CJ, individuals involved in such actions lose the protection of the judicial system. It is therefore imperative that we are promptly notified of any application pertaining to the address, edit [full address in single line], whether made individually or as part of a bulk application list / process, for Rights of Entry Warrants.

I point out the facts known by police, edit if neededOctopus Energy and their Contractors / Legal Team are not providing notice of any application made to the court to individuals / occupants. I refer you to your own legislation in respect of issuing Summons or Warrants.

I trust that you will treat this matter with the seriousness it deserves and take appropriate action to ensure the integrity of the judicial process. Your cooperation and immediate notification regarding any relevant applications are greatly appreciated.

By,

  1. I feel the need for an open source to enable the occupiers of dwellings who maybe considering various energy suppliers “services” to look up the types of company’s engaged in these massive frauds, I can imagine it is practically every one of them.
    The open re-source might be called “registry mistrust”

  2. If we stay with octopus, as it was the sample, they have changed the company name from OCTOPUS ENERGY LIMITED to OCTOPUS ENERGY PAYMENT LIMITED, at the FCA website: https://register.fca.org.uk/s/firm?id=0014G00002zZbLLQA0
    But again, further down on the page with yellow background says: Some activities by this firm may not be protected
    “This firm is shown on the Register because it is now, or was previously, approved by the FCA (or relevant regulatory body).”

  3. Thank you for your excellent article that I will be forwarding on telegram.
    As someone who has suffered similar administrative injustice for council tax and must inform everybody that your proposed remedies will not gain any traction.
    I have an outstanding ministry of Justice complaint from July that has never even been replied to and many other people I think including yourself in a similar article proves that they simply ignore all of this.
    Furthermore the scope of a judicial complaint cannot enquire into the actual decision that was made but only deals with the actual conduct of the judge such as making rude remarks to people.
    We need a much more robust approach.
    I would suggest that you apply for leave to repeal or a judicial review but this must be done within 21 days so everyone must act promptly

  4. I tried to attend a warrant application hearing and was refused entry as it was deemed ‘private’ and the Magistrates refused to give their names. I’m currently in the complaint process, however, I can tell you that I will be taking claims to higher courts and if necessary getting a mandatory order to force the Mags courts to cease and desist the unlawful granting of warrants.

    1. What is the process for taking these warrant of entry claims to higher courts and getting a mandatory order to force Haste Ltd & the Mags courts to cease and desist the unlawful granting of warrants?
