Union Assessment Committee. A committee of the board of guardians of every union, consisting of not less than six nor more than twelve, having jurisdiction to revise the valuation lists framed by the overseers of each parish for the purpose of rating to the poor rate. See (English) Union Assessment Committee Acts of 1862 and 1864 (25 & 26 Vict. c. 103, and 27 & 28 Vict. c. 39), by the latter of which there can be n appeal against a poor rate to quarter sessions without previous notice of the objection of the appellant to the assessment committee, and failure to obtain relief from such committee. As to time of giving notice of appeal, see Denaby Overseers v. Denaby Collieries, 1909 AC 247. The Act of 1864 (27 & 28 Vict. c. 38), has been repealed by the (English) Rating and Valuation Act, 1925 (15 & 16 Geo. 5, c. 90), except s. 6 and in part as to London. See RATES.
