She is getting a solicitor and I suspect this will be what they concentrate on. She could even go as far as blaming the builder. Think about it this way; builder says someone will pick up the rubbish on Monday. Somebody turns up on Monday and takes it away. Council try to take her to court, she proves builder had all licences etc (whatever it is) and was arranging removal. Therefore it is entirely his problem. You could argue it is him who should be going to court.
And by the way, she is a sensible professional person. I don't know any other way to describe her. When she does stuff, she does it properly. She wouldn't have used some dodgy bodgit-and-scarper type builder. I've seen the finished work, it's very professional.
It's this bit that really gets me. She was totally deceived yet she is the one being punished
Just because the useless pen-pushers can't get the real criminal.
I was also under the impression that the 'interview' she did was with the police. But it was actually with the council and it was recorded. No doubt they know exactly how to word their questions to entrap her into admitting guilt (as per the court's eyes), all to help their case. Again, more deviousness. Scumbags
