Judith Wilson - who with husband Fergus is believed to be the country's wealthiest private landlord - has been ordered to pay more than £3,000 in overdue council tax.
Wilson, of Boughton Monchelsea, was prosecuted in her absence by Maidstone magistrates - her husband, who usually represents her in legal matters, had sought to change the date of the hearing because he was filming with the BBC.
But Judith Wilson was instead found guilty of 10 counts of not paying council tax for nine homes which are part of the couple's portfolio.
Carole Stevenson, court officer for Mid Kent Revenues and Benefits Partnership, requested that 10 liability orders demanding payment be sent to Mrs Wilson in relation to nine properties in the Maidstone area.
A total of £3,288 is to be paid by Wilson including a £60 summons fee and £500 in costs.

So not fined then as the article leads us to believe, just ordered to pay what's due! From experience probably invoices issued to a vacant property.
Come to Hyndburn half our councillors haven't paid there council tax....leading by example!
