The article from MSN discusses a significant legal victory for taxpayers against Solihull Council in 2024. Residents of Solihull, a borough in the West Midlands, UK, challenged the council's decision to increase council tax by 4.99% without a referendum, which they argued was unlawful under local government finance rules. The case, spearheaded by a group of local taxpayers, went to court where it was ruled that the council had indeed breached regulations by not holding a referendum for such a tax hike.
